As we do our part by staying homes, there are those who are risking their lives for us by being on the frontlines. From doctors and nurses to grocery workers and delivery service workers, we have them to thank for giving us some resemblance of a normal life.
While we thank them profusely for their service, some of these frontliners go above and beyond to restore our faith in humanity.
Like this one delivery driver from Florida, US.

A delivery driver is currently making headlines for his compassion after he kindly disinfected a packaged that was meant to be delivered to the home of an 11-year-old girl who has an autoimmune disorder.
With the dangers of COVID-19 going around, this man’s sweet gesture has earned the applause of the internet with his simple deed.
Owner of the home, Carrie Blasi tweeted about the incident saying:
“We have a sign on our door for packages/mail as our 11 year old daughter is a Type 1 Diabetic. Our Federal Express delivery guy wrote this on our box “I sanitized your box once I’ve seen the note on your door” – and you can tell that he used sainitizer wipes on the box. Amazing!!”
Carrie’s security camera caught the driver Justin Bradshaw’s, kind actions and she decided to share this with the Internet!
Justin is seen walking up to the door, seeing the note, walking back to his van to get sanitizer wipes and proceeding to wipe down the package.
Since the video went viral, Carrie and the driver have been able to meet virtually.
“One of the FedEx delivery guy’s friends found me on Facebook, and we were able to connect with them via video conference,” Carrie noted.
Speaking with People, Carrie also shared that the Justin’s daughter is also a high risk individual.
“He is such a good natured man,” she said. “She [his daughter] was born premature – [and] fit in his hand!”
This is definitely one good deed for the books! Hopefully everyone can #BeLikeJustin by being kind and compassionate to one another!
