On Oct. 11, the United States Postal Workers for the Price City Post Office joined together to show love and support to their fellow mail courier, Jennifer Slavensky.
Last October, Slavensky, who is a wife, mother, sister, daughter, aunt, friend and courier for the United States Postal Service (USPS), was diagnosed with breast cancer. Slavensky was informed that her diagnosis was stage 3, triple negative breast cancer, which is an extremely aggressive form of breast cancer.
Upon receiving her diagnosis, Slavensky went into fight mode. She immediately began chemotherapy and immunotherapy, making several round trips to Provo for treatment, as well as doctor’s visits.
Despite her diagnosis, neither breast cancer, nor snow, nor rain, nor heat, nor gloom of night, kept Slavensky from the swift completion of her appointed rounds. Slavensky remained a dedicated courier for the USPS and continued working through all of her treatments and doctor’s visits.
Slavenky’s fellow couriers joined together early Friday morning to decorate their postal service vehicles, while sporting their “Stamp Out Breast Cancer” t-shirts. The USPS trucks were adorned with pink balloons, streamers and signs.
