No matter who you are and what job you do, you can be helpful.
That was certainly the case for an Amazon delivery driver, who took a few moments out of her day to prioritize the safety of a customer.
The heartwarming incident was captured on a doorbell camera, showcasing the dedication and care of the driver named Kelsey.
The Viral TikTok Explaining How a Client’s House Was “Unsafe”
@_jesshopehuse We just moved in and this happened today…she’s not wrong though. Guess I need to get some house numbers. #amazondelivery
As Kelsey approached Jessica Huseman, a client's house, to deliver a package, she couldn't help but notice something concerning — the absence of any markers indicating the house number.
Kelsey decided to take a few extra seconds to address the issue with Huseman.
In the footage shared by Huseman, Kelsey can be seen cheerfully greeting Huseman and then expressing her concern about the missing house number. She emphasized how important it is for emergency services to locate the correct address swiftly. "What if you needed medical assistance and the paramedics didn't know your town well? Come on ... have a great day!" Kelsey exclaimed.
Huseman, who had recently moved into the house and hadn't yet installed a number marker, appreciated Kelsey's message.
In her caption, Huseman acknowledged the need for house numbers and vowed to rectify the situation promptly.
The heartwarming video quickly went viral, amassing over 4 million views and capturing the attention of Kelsey herself.
In response, the Amazon worker shared a follow-up video, shedding light on her commitment to speak up when she notices potential safety concerns during her deliveries.
Kelsey revealed the "unsafe" things she often encounters, such as unclear exits and obstructions that could impede emergency services. Drawing from her experience in crisis management and prevention education, she highlighted the importance of bystander intervention and the significance of looking out for one another.
Bystander intervention, as Kelsey explained, plays a vital role in creating safer communities.
It encourages individuals to step in and address harmful situations they witness, promoting a culture of care and solidarity. By taking an active role in bystander intervention, we contribute to building a more inclusive, equitable, and compassionate society.
