WORCESTER – If you’ve ever been to The Boynton, chances are you’ve run into Manny.

The long-time parking attendant Manuel [“Manny”] has been working for nearly two decades at the popular Highland St. restaurant and its customers are stepping up to help Manny out in a time of need.

A GoFundMe campaign — “Manny’s Surgery!” — has been started for Manny to help him cover hospital and surgery expenses related to the repair of a broken shunt — narrow piece of tubing that is inserted into a fluid-filled ventricle.

The shunt was placed during brain surgery 18 years ago to relieve fluid build-up. Since that surgery, Manny has worked at The Boynton.

The surgery he needs now is scheduled to be done before the end of the summer — and if the necessary money is raised in time, the possibility remains that Manny could have the surgery completed by the end of July.
