Clearwater, FL couple searches for mystery mailman who gave them Thanksgiving meal

CLEARWATER, Fla. (WFLA) — ‘Tis the season for all sorts of deliveries, but one Clearwater mail carrier dropped off something Wednesday that might still surprise you: an entire Thanksgiving feast to an unsuspecting family who otherwise couldn’t afford it.

Lee Mathis and his girlfriend Janet Wetherington now have lots of last-minute preps to cook their Thanksgiving feast, but they don’t mind a bit.

“I thought we were just going to have a normal day, have a sandwich or something,” Mathis said, referring to his Thanksgiving plans. “But now I’ve got something to look forward to!”

It started as a regular Wednesday morning. Wetherington went to bible study, and Mathis, who is disabled, was at home when the postal worker came to the door.

“When he stepped up at that door, and I opened it, it blew my mind,” Mathis recalled.

The mail carrier held a mail bin brimming with all the fixings for a full Thanksgiving feast, turkey included. It was much more than what the couple could afford on their own.

Still in shock, Mathis says he let the mysterious mailman leave, before he could get his name or ask him why.

“I didn’t know anything else to say, except thank you,” he said. “I’d really like to give him a big hug.” More at WFLA
