All that time, walking 3 miles to the hospital, 3 miles back is truly a hard job.

I wish someone locally would help him. He has to be so exhausted every day.

Probably doesn't want to ask anything of anyone and feel indebted.

I would think good neighbors would be so happy to make things easier for him, and find a way to keep him from feeling he's a burden.
