What a wonderful story! It also makes me really want to be a millionaire so I can give back like this.
Bethany Provencher, an IHOP waitress and single mom in the suburbs of Chicago, where Donnie and his wife Jenny McCarthy live, got the surprise of a lifetime after Donnie Wahlberg dined at the restaurant!
“I’ve loved Donnie my whole life—I was a very big New Kids on the Block fan when I was a kid,” Bethany Provencher, the IHOP server who received the tip, tells PEOPLE exclusively. “I didn’t want to freak out at the table, so I went into the bathroom and freaked out a little. I was like, ‘oh my god!’”
