Rural carrier saves customer’s life on freezing day

heroOliviaAllee_RightAlignd-storyOlivia 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.
