Natasha Wheeler is one of our valued employees, and our hearts are with her during this incredibly difficult time. The day after Christmas, while riding her bike home, Natasha was struck by a car at the corner of 2nd and Market St. As a result of the accident, she suffered severe injuries, including fractures to the left side of her knee and leg, as well as damage to the bone that supports her ACL. She required surgery and now has plates and pins in place. Natasha will be out of work for at least 3 to 6 months, and it is uncertain if she will be able to return to work at all. She and her daughter just moved into a new home before this accident occurred. During her recovery, we are hoping to help raise enough funds to cover rent for the next few months so they do not lose their new home while she focuses on healing.

Natasha is more than just an employee to us—she is family. She shows up every day with a caring heart, a strong work ethic, and a kindness that touches our staff and our guests. During this incredibly difficult time, we want her to feel the same support that she has given so freely to us and others. As the Hell's Kitchen family, we are coming together to help ease some of the financial burden she is facing, and we humbly ask for your help. Any donation, big or small, and even sharing this fundraiser, means more than we can put into words. Thank you for helping us support someone who truly means so much to all of us.
