It appears that angels can sometimes be found in brown uniforms.
Raheem Cooper, a UPS driver in Valdosta, Georgia, was on his usual delivery route when he noticed an elderly woman collapsed on her driveway. Without hesitation, he called emergency services and remained by her side, affectionately referring to her as “grandmother.” The woman, later identified as Marie Coble, was rushed to the hospital, where she underwent emergency brain surgery for a subdural hematoma. Thankfully, she survived the operation and began her recovery.
Kayla Cochran, Coble’s granddaughter, learned about Cooper’s heroic actions and managed to contact him. “I found his number and called him to express my gratitude,” Cochran recounted. “He was truly an angel to our family; without him, she would not have made it.” Five days post-surgery, when Cooper visited Coble, she brightened up and hugged him—her first sign of affection since the incident.
In a show of support for Coble’s family, Cooper initiated a GoFundMe campaign to assist them, contributing $100 of his own money to kickstart the effort. Recently, he received a letter from UPS’s CEO acknowledging his bravery. Additionally, a coworker gifted him tickets to a Florida State University football game, and he was presented with a plaque in recognition of his selflessness.
