A mom has taken to social media to thank a delivery driver who sanitized a package to help protect her high-risk daughter from the coronavirus. The driver revealed his random act of kindness on the package itself, writing that after seeing a sign that revealed there was a person with an autoimmune disease living in the property, he went above and beyond to ensure that what he was delivering didn't infect them. Some people are gifting delivery drivers essential items as a thank you for their hard work:  [[jwplayerwidget||https://content.jwplatform.com/videos/duo8vaTv-dkXnENEs.mp4||duo8vaTv]] The heartwarming incident took place at the home of Carrie Blasi in Raton, Florida. According to <a href="https://www.wfla.com/community/health/coronavirus/florida-mom-thanks-fedex-driver-who-sanitized-packages-for-high-risk-daughter/">WFLA</a>, she spotted the incredible gesture on her home security camera too. Taking to social media to express her thanks, Blasi posted pictures of the incident that were captioned: "We have a sign on our door for packages/mail as our 11-year-old daughter is a Type 1 Diabetic Our Federal Express delivery guy wrote this on our box. "'I sanitized your box once I’ve seen the note on your door' - and you can tell that he used sanitizer wipes on the box. Amazing!!"

"@FedEx should not only give him a raise, but feature him in their next commercial. His compassion is inspiring." A second added: "This is precious! Not only was this an amazing act by this gentleman, but I, too, have an autoimmune disorder and this made me aware of putting a sign on the door. Thank you!"
