MARYLAND HEIGHTS, Mo. — On Dec. 1 in St. Louis, over three inches of snow blanketed the region, and many people stayed home. This was the second round of snow in three days, and over 6 inches of snow, according to the National Weather Service, was on the ground from the first snowfall just hours before.
However, one United States Postal Service mail carrier decided to deliver mail, and that decision ultimately saved a stranger’s life.
As she was in the middle of her route in a Maryland Heights subdivision, she saw an older adult waving her hand from inside her garage doorway.
“I stopped and asked, ‘Do you need help?'” Chatman said.
The woman, who wishes to remain anonymous, replied yes and asked her to call 911 because, unable to stand, she thought she had broken her hip or leg. Chatman made the call.
