A British grocery store delivery driver, Leandro Pinto Dantas, saved a woman’s life in the coastal town of Poole, southern England. When she failed to answer the door, he sensed something was wrong and decided to take a closer look through the window. Initially, everything seemed normal with the lights and TV on, but after knocking and calling the contact number without a response, he felt compelled to check again. This time, he spotted the woman lying unconscious on the floor. He immediately called for an ambulance, and paramedics administered glucose to stabilize her low blood sugar due to diabetes.
Leandro wasn’t originally scheduled to work that evening but had swapped shifts at the last minute. He believes it was fate that led him to be there and help her. While emergency services attended to the woman, Leandro took care of her groceries. A few days later, he visited her with flowers. The woman, in her 60s, was hospitalized for low blood pressure but discharged the next day. She expressed deep gratitude to Leandro in a letter to the local newspaper, praising his actions as going far beyond what she expected from a delivery driver.
Leandro’s heroic actions have earned him a nomination for an Asda ‘Service Superstar’ award. His employer praised his instinct and dedication, stating that his actions likely saved the customer’s life.
