UPS Workers Credited With Saving Man’s Life In A Church On Their Route

Sometimes, a delivery person ends up bringing more than just a package or a pizza. And for a man who’d suffered a heart attack in a church, two UPS workers who were on the job happened gave him something much better, when they saved his life during their rounds.

The pair of UPS workers in Virginia Beach, VA (who happen to be married) were working together one day when they came upon an 84-year-old man who’d suffered a heart attack at a church on their route, reports WTKR.com.

He wasn’t breathing and had hit his head, his son said. The husband part of the UPS team walked into the church and saw the man on the ground, and went to wave his wife inside. She was the only one nearby who knew CPR.

“He was looking at me,” she said. “His eyes were open and I was just praying to God just let me do this. Let me save this man`s life, let me help him.”

Paremedics said later that what she did may have made all the difference.

“I was proud of her,” her husband said. “It brought tears to my eyes.”

The man is now recovering in the hospital, and his family is grateful for the kindness of strangers.

“Everybody had their hand and God made it happen,” his son said. “That`s how it works.”
