A paralyzed woman thanks him, who was helped through his broadcast to receive special paper for a very specific printer, through which she could communicate with the environment. A girl there writes that the school bus now stops in front of his deserted courtyard and that it no longer has to walk that far to school. Gaiser: 'These are successes that count.' "
