City Carrier Assistant Rodrick Clayton Sr. was making deliveries recently in Hubbard, TX, when he saw a 12-year-old boy run out of a residence, screaming.
Clayton rushed to check on the child, who had burned his face while cooking.
The Postal Service employee called 911, rendered first aid and stayed with the boy until paramedics arrived.
The child’s mother later thanked Clayton for helping her son.
