UPDATE:  It breaks my heart to let you know that Chef Kareema's restaurant was vandalized again...this time all 3 windows were smashed.  This was intentional.  Please let us rally around Chef Kareema and support with additional costs for the repair of these windows.  Please know that your assistance is greatly appreciated.

A dear friend of mine, Chef Kareema Beckles, restaurant’s window was smashed this morning.  Kareema is someone I’ve known pretty much my entire life. She is passionate about food and what she does – cooking.  I have seen her persevere over the years, always pushing toward her goals despite the obstacles that she has faced.  She is also very giving – volunteering with the Jamaican Canadian Association cooking meals for the seniors in our community.  She believes in service for our community.  

It would be amazing if we could raise some money to help with the cost of repairing Chef Kareema Beckles restaurant's window and whatever else she may need in light of what’s happened.  Any amount of donation would be so greatly appreciated.  She is just trying to live and provide for her family. 

Thanking you in advance.
