Video: USPS won’t deliver cancer patient’s medication because of snow berms and ice

SPOKANE VALLEY, Wash. – As a mother of six, including a newborn, Amy Stobart has a lot on her plate to manage. She home schools her ten and five-year-old boys and has to take care of her three-month-old boy.

Two weeks ago Amy went to her doctor’s for a routine checkup and got the worst possible news: she has breast cancer.

“I just felt like my whole life was being taken away,” Stobart said.

Amy depends on the Postal Service to deliver everything from baby formula to medication for her cancer.

“She just won’t deliver mail sometimes and mail that we are expecting to get so we know that it is coming and it just doesn’t come,” says Stobart.
