The woman posted about the message on Facebook and quickly received more than 100 replies, with many volunteering to come over and help.

"I didn't even tell Kris," said Wesinger."I just went over and I did her whole side of her yard with my lawnmower and bagged up all the leaves as much as I could before it got dark.""It bothered me that in this world that we're living in now, people are being really cruel," said Wesinger."This is a time for neighbors to step up and help people out."

Neighbors say Whitehouse is a fixture in the community, and they couldn't believe someone would criticize her because her leaves had piled up. "People in the neighborhood know her," said neighbor Jillian Freitas."They know that she has disabilities, and to go and do that is really low, especially at this time of the year."

Multiple neighbors pointed out that if someone was so unhappy with the leaves, they could have just helped out instead of leaving the message in her mailbox."You're welcome. Any time," she replied."That's what neighbors are for." Whitehouse says this has actually happened before. She's received similar notes over the years. She hopes this will be the last time, because she says it's very demeaning every time it happens.
