She Got Her Mail Every Day. When He Spots It On the Ground, He Knows Something is Terribly Wrong…

In today’s world, impersonal service is all-too common. However, one mailman takes his job seriously and went above and beyond to help a resident when he noticed something was amiss. His observation and his dedicated action saved her life.[1]

A Missouri mailman went above and beyond the call of duty and it made all of the difference to a 96-year-old woman and her family.

Fox 4 reports[3] that Chris Feldhaus, a 15-year veteran of the post office, noticed that one of his regulars had not been picking up her mail for several days. He said:

“She’s one of those that picks her mail up every day, and I noticed after two days that it wasn’t getting picked up, and her papers were on the ground, so then, on the third day is when I looked into it.”

After knocking on the resident’s door produced no response, Feldhaus contacted[4]the woman’s property manager, who then called police. According to Feldhaus, the woman was found conscious, but in need of urgent care:

“‘She had fallen, and they don`t know how long she had been there, but it had been a least a couple days,’ Feldhaus adds. ‘She`s in her mid-90s, so she was unable to get up and get anything to eat or drink or even get the phone.’”

A neighbor of the victim, who also gets her mail delivered by Feldhaus, described his act of awareness as “amazing.” She added he is always friendly and that, “[y]ou don’t find many people these days that go beyond what they’re supposed to do during their job.”

It’s not often that we can label a mailman a “hero.” Sure, many are great at their jobs and they provide a much-needed service; but when we think of public servants who are heroes, we think of police and firemen and EMTs.

This man is a hero.
