Donnie Wahlberg Leaves a Single Mom Speechless With a Special Tip

In today’s world, many people work tirelessly just to make ends meet. While some may try to take shortcuts, countless others show up every day, putting in the hours and effort to provide for their families. Bethany Provencher is one of those hardworking individuals.

A single mom with an 11-year-old son, Bethany moved from Miami to St. Charles, Illinois, seeking a fresh start after 18 years in The Magic City. She secured a job at a local IHOP, relying on her 25 years of customer service experience—but furnishing her new apartment was still a challenge due to tight finances.

Then, one day near the end of the year, fate stepped in. Celebrity couple Donnie Wahlberg and Jenny McCarthy walked into the IHOP and sat in Bethany’s section. Bethany, a longtime fan of New Kids on the Block, was thrilled to serve Donnie, never imagining the surprise he had in store.

After their meal, Donnie paid the $35.27 bill—and left a note on the receipt with a hand-drawn smiley face: “Thanks, Bethany, Happy New Year. 2020 Tip Challenge.”

Following his instructions, Bethany waited until the couple had left before opening the receipt. She couldn’t believe her eyes. Donnie had left her—and her coworkers—a staggering $2,020 tip!

This incredible act of generosity instantly transformed what had been just another busy day into a moment Bethany will never forget. It wasn’t just about the money—it was a gesture of kindness that recognized hard work and brought unexpected joy to someone starting over in a new city.
