Weiser, ID, Letter Carrier Casey Roubidoux

As Letter Carrier Casey Roubidoux was approaching a home in Weiser, ID, recently, he could see the customer through the screen door coming to greet him.

But the woman then stumbled and crashed into a side table, striking her arm and head as she fell.

The Postal Service employee opened the door to help the customer, who appeared to be having a seizure.

Roubidoux called 911 and waited with her until help arrived.

The customer was back at home the next day and greeted Roubidoux at the door.
