Akron, OH, Letter Carrier Laura Kish recently helped a lost child find his way home after she saw him wandering around alone when she was delivering mail.

The shoeless boy, who is about 2, pointed to a house when Kish approached him, but when she went there, no one was home.

Kish proceeded to canvass the neighborhood in search of someone who knew the child.

Eventually she located a couple who recognized him and was able to get him home safely.
