Kayla Berridge, a mail carrier for the post office, became concerned when she noticed an elderly woman’s mail piling up. It had only been four days but Kayla was used to seeing the resident on a daily basis and she truly cared about the elderly in her community.

Kayla had been working as a mail carrier at the post office for quite a while and when you work at a job like the post office, a community is formed. On day four, Kayla knew something was wrong and she knew she needed to check on this elderly woman. 

"I just had a gut feeling and I just wanted to make sure [she was okay]. When people pick up their mail every day, you start to notice their habits,” she said.

So Kayla decided to contact law enforcement to request a welfare check. And thank God she did!
