PLAINFIELD, IL — Aurelio's in Plainfield is raising money to help "one of your favorite servers" after a "terrible fall" Monday morning.
Pam will undergo surgery to fix a broken nose and a maxilla that pushed into her cheek, according to a Facebook post signed by franchise owner Mike Pascale and his team.
"We are unclear of her return date to work so we are asking for any donation to help Pam pay for her expenses while she is off so she isn’t worried about money," the post reads.
