Doorbell video sparks support for elderly veteran delivering food late at night
Mabank residents raised nearly $9,000 to support Larry Colvin, a 76-year-old Vietnam veteran delivering pizzas late due to family health-care expenses.
- An online fundraiser organized by Mabank resident Savannah Saulters has raised nearly $9,000 to assist Larry Phillip Colvin, a 76-year-old Vietnam veteran delivery driver.
- Colvin returned to work after 10 years because Social Security income failed to cover his family's healthcare costs, including surgeries for his wife and medical treatment for his son.
- After seeing the elderly man on her doorbell camera, Saulters posted on social media questioning why a DoorDash driver was working late, saying, "There should be no reason that a 76-year-old man is delivering my pizza."
- Colvin works most nights delivering food while attending church on Wednesdays, though he noted, "I wish I didn't have to do it at night" because earnings peak after dark.
- Daughter-in-Law Donna Colvin said the community response has provided relief, stating, "What you've done has helped our family tremendously" as the donation fund offers a path toward reducing his workload.
