On July 2, 2026, our lives changed forever when we unexpectedly lost our beloved mother, Katina, in a tragic accident.

Our mom was the heart of our family. She had a rare gift for making people feel seen, loved, and cared for. No matter what she was facing herself, she always found a way to lift someone else up. Her kindness, strength, and unwavering love touched everyone who had the privilege of knowing her.

Beyond being an incredible mother, she lovingly devoted herself to raising her 16-year-old granddaughter, giving her the stability, guidance, and unconditional love every child deserves. That devotion was just one example of the selfless way she lived her life.

As our family grieves this unimaginable loss, we are also navigating the many responsibilities that come with such a sudden tragedy. Donations will help ease the financial burden of memorial expenses, estate-related costs, maintaining her household costs, and provide support as we work to ensure her granddaughter continues to have the care, stability, and opportunities that our mom worked so hard to provide.

If you knew Katina, you know she never hesitated to help someone in need. If you feel moved to honor her memory, any contribution—no matter the amount—is deeply appreciated. If you're unable to donate, we would be incredibly grateful if you would share this fundraiser and keep our family in your thoughts and prayers.

The greatest way we can honor our mom is by continuing to love others with the same kindness, generosity, and open heart that she showed every single day. Thank you for helping us celebrate her beautiful life and for surrounding our family with the same love and compassion that she gave so freely to others.
