Hang in there

Letter Carrier Dang Hang was recently delivering mail to a residence in Stockton, CA, when he heard a loud thud that concerned him.

Hang spotted a customer inside who’d collapsed after experiencing a diabetes-related blackout.

The Postal Service employee immediately called 911 and remained on the scene until paramedics arrived and took the woman to a hospital.

The customer, who recovered from the incident, later contacted the local Post Office.

She called Hang her guardian angel and thanked him for saving her life.
