One of its employees is in need of help during the holiday season. A GoFundMe has been created to help with the cause.

Patrick Penn has spent much of the last four months in the hospital after stepping on a nail in August.

Penn’s left foot was infected and had surgery in August. He missed six weeks of work following the incident. Penn returned to work and was re-admitted into the hospital in late-November.

During this time, Penn has been through more surgeries and is at risk of losing part of his foot.

A GoFundMe has been created to help with medical bills. To donate and for more details, the GoFundMe can be viewed here.

KNOXVILLE – Gov. Bill Lee issued a statewide order Sunday to limit all bars and restaurants in Tennessee to conduct business by takeout and drive-thru only.

Lee’s executive order also prohibits social gatherings of more than 10 people, a closure of gyms and visits to nursing and retirement homes being limited to essential care.

“The COVID-19 pandemic has created both a health and economic crisis and our response must address both,” Gov. Lee Tweeted on Sunday. “Today, I signed Executive Order No. 17 to temporarily limit social gatherings, move restaurant sales to takeout models for food and alcohol and also address the use of gyms.”
