This year, for my birthday, I'm asking for something a little different. Instead of gifts, I would love for you to support World Central Kitchen, Inc. (WCK), an incredible organization that brings hope and nourishment to communities in crisis. Founded by Chef José Andrés, WCK is always the first to respond when disaster strikes, providing fresh meals and comfort to those in need.

Your donations will help WCK continue their vital work, including:

• Serving fresh, nutritious meals to communities impacted by disasters.
• Purchasing local ingredients to support local economies while providing food relief.

By donating, you're not just celebrating my birthday; you're joining a movement that brings dignity and hope to those who need it most. Thank you for considering a donation in lieu of gifts!
