Jul 9, 2014, 12:33 PM | Updated: 12:33 pm

A popular Chandler, Ariz. restaurant owner has had a pretty tough week.

According to Mouth by Southwest, Randy Walters, aka Pittsburgh Willy, had a food cart stolen, mistakenly left a week of profits in a cab and was taken to a local hospital for cardiac issues, all within the same week.

That’s not including a rushed opening of a new business months ahead of schedule and his recovery from a detached retina.

Walters is known for helping our the community at the drop of a hat and that same community is responding. A Go Fund Me was established to help him through the tough time. As of noon Wednesday, the page had raised nearly $4,000 toward the $5,000 goal.

We want to hear from you.
