Let’s face it, folks. We’ve come to take getting our mail and packages on time for granted.
With online ordering, competitive postal services, and the comfortable world of instant gratification, delayed mail arrivals are largely a thing of the past.

It takes people to make the world go round, and this is no less true in the world of deliveries. That’s why every now and again, we should take the time to thank them properly.
The day before we had to put our dog down, I found her in the foyer saying goodbye to the dog,” said Jason Lehtman, who created the gofundme page for the occasion. “And right there you’re just like, ‘Wow’”
Another resident, Christie, Pickrell also had great things to say about Carolyn.
“She’s just kind. She’s humble. I don’t think she even realizes the impact she has on people. She’s always smiling.”
Carolyn thought her day was over when her shift ended on Friday, but the reality was that her day was just starting.
“Because of the generosity you show and the love to our families, our babies, our dogs especially, we wanted to give you a little bit more.”
Extra donations of money will help Carolyn out with bills and extra hurdles that are faced daily.
“I am truly surprised cause I love this route,” said an emotional Carolyn. “I love my job. I love coming to work. I never mind working. That’s great and this is why. It’s the reason I’ll retire on this route. And the only reason I have a route is because you guys shop online.”
