Donnie handed the receipt to single mom and waitress Bethany, telling her not to open it until he and his wife had left IHOP When she unfolded the receipt, oh my god. Find the story in the comments

Bethany Provencher, a single mother of an 11-year-old, bravely left Miami after 18 years for a fresh start in St. Charles, Illinois. With 25 years of experience in customer service, she quickly found work as a server at IHOP. Though she secured a new apartment, she couldn’t afford to furnish it.

One day at work, she was thrilled to recognize two of her favorite celebrities—Donnie Wahlberg and Jenny McCarthy—at her table. Bethany served them with a smile, unaware of the surprise they had in store.

After finishing their \$35.27 meal, the couple quietly left, asking her not to check the receipt until they were gone. When she did, Bethany was stunned to find a \$2,020 tip and a message: “Thanks, Bethany. Happy New Year. 2020 Tip Challenge.”
