    Employee saves customer’s life on freezing day
    March 27 at midnight

    Olivia Allee, a rural carrier associate, was making deliveries in December in California, MO, when she spotted an older customer who’d fallen outside.

    The man asked Allee for help, but she couldn’t safely lift him, so she immediately called 911.

    The Postal Service employee then located a blanket to warm him until emergency responders arrived.

    Paramedics praised Allee for her lifesaving actions on a day when temperatures plunged below zero, and the customer mailed a letter of thanks to the local Post Office after he recovered from the incident.

  • Kelly Wheeler, Sayner, WI:

    After reading “Vital valentines,” the article about the organization that sends valentines to senior communities to combat the effects of social isolation and loneliness, I wrote a note to an elderly customer. The sweet lady had lost her husband a few months ago and I just wanted her to know that I was thinking of her on the first Valentine’s Day without her husband.
