Mesquite, TX, Carrier Annex Station Letter Carrier Tommy Daniels received a customer compliment.

 

To whom it may Concern,

 

I live in Mesquite and on April 5, 2018 I was watering my plants in my front yard, as I was getting ready to close the faucet I tripped and fell backwards.  I called my husband who was inside my house and he did not answer.  I couldn’t turn off the water and was getting all wet and muddy.  Then I looked at the wand with which I was watering and noticed it had a turn off switch.  So, I turned it off.  All of the sudden at the base of the faucet there developed a huge balloon which burst all of the sudden.  So, I was getting wetter and very muddy and no one could hear my calls inside the house.  My husband turns his cell all the way down so he won’t get any calls and if it is important he will call them back.

 

Then to my surprise because we don’t usually get our mail until the afternoon and it was 10:00am in the morning, here came our Mailman.  I asked him to please turn off the faucet which he did.  Then I asked him to knock as loud as he could on my front door.  He asked me, may I help you get up?  I told him thank you but I wanted my husband to pick me up.  It’s because I’ve had both of my knees replaced and I can’t put any weight on them to get up.  When my husband helped me up the Mailman said ma’am your head is bleeding.  So, I ran into the house to change clothes, wrap my head in a towel and head to the emergency room.  After getting a cat scan and three staples on my head, they wrapped my left arm because it was bleeding too.  Then I was sent home to rest.

 

The first question I have is do you believe in God?  I do because he sent me your Mailman early that day.  The second question is there any kind of recognition you have in the Post Office to recognize this wonderful person for helping a person he didn’t have to and went above and beyond to assist someone?  I am 73 years old, even though I don’t consider myself old but I am in poor health. 

 

You always get complaints on Mail persons that do things wrong.  I worked for a insurance company and we always received complaints and seldom received compliments.  I believe we need more people that do the right thing in life.  His name is Tommy Daniels.  He knocked on my door today to see how I was doing.  He doesn’t know I’m writing this.  I just asked him for his name and gave him a big hug. 

 

You have an awesome person working for you and please appreciate him!

 

Sincerely,
