**Hardworking Mom Stunned by Donnie Wahlberg’s Generosity**

In a world where many work tirelessly to make ends meet, single mom Bethany Provencher embodies dedication. After moving from Miami to St. Charles, Illinois, with her 11-year-old son, she began working at IHOP to support her family. Despite her efforts, financial struggles made furnishing her new apartment impossible.

One day, Bethany served singer Donnie Wahlberg and his wife, Jenny McCarthy, at the restaurant. A longtime fan of Donnie’s band, New Kids on the Block, Bethany was thrilled to meet him.

After their meal, Donnie paid their $35.27 bill and left a handwritten note: “Thanks, Bethany, Happy New Year. 2020 Tip Challenge.” Following his request to open the receipt after he left, Bethany was shocked to discover a $2,020 tip.

The generous gesture left Bethany and her coworkers speechless, a heartwarming reminder of the kindness that can transform lives.
