She is one of ten elderly and isolated people that the letter carrier will visit. Together they discuss ‘”A little bit of everything”. The mail carrier explains: “I’m here to help her. This pleases me.“
While visiting a couple in their eighties, she realizes that the woman does not hear her, unlike yesterday, so the letter carrier will report this problem on her way home. “That we are taken care of to see if everything is fine, that’s good“, reports Robert Haag95 years old.
