Update!! The original goal was $8000. We’ve raised it and anything beyond the original goal will go towards the three kids needs, the two oldest Charli & Canaan being mine, and the youngest Ronni who is David & Karissa’s daughter. Charli’s car to get to and from work, Canaan’s diabetic insulin pump for his T1D, and Ronni’s toys and programs as she’s non-verbal and on the spectrum. Thank you all so much for believing in this family.

Karissa Aguirre was a bright light in this world, always joking, laughing, and selflessly pouring kindness and love into everyone around her. She never met a person that wasn’t a friend, and her warmth touched so many lives. We want to honor Karissa’s wishes and memory in the most loving way possible. Right now, money is tight for our family, and we need help covering end of life expenses like transport to the crematorium, cremation costs, urn cost, and memorial service costs. These funds will relieve a huge financial stress for us, allowing us to focus on grieving and celebrating Karissa’s life. Most importantly, your support will help us honor her wish to be cremated and keep her memory alive for all who loved her. Karissa was truly bigger than life, and we want to give her the peaceful farewell she deserves. If you’re led to donate, thank you from the bottom of our hearts. Every dollar will go directly toward laying Karissa peacefully to rest and ensuring her memory is remembered forever. Your kindness and support mean more than words can say, and we are deeply grateful for any help during this difficult time.
