Leandro Pinto Dantas is a 36-year-old delivery driver for the Asda grocery store chain in the U.K. One of Dantas’ customers says he went “above and beyond what I would expect supermarket delivery drivers to do.” Why? Because he likely saved her life.

Dantas said he arrived at one of his regular stops and “everything seemed normal.” It looked like someone was home: “The light was on and the TV was on. I knocked on the door but didn’t get an answer, so I called the contact number we had for the delivery but got no reply.”

The driver was torn about what to do but decided perhaps the TV was on by mistake. “I thought at first they must have gone out, so I looked in the window, but no one was coming.” Dantas walked away. But while he was walking, he had a sinking feeling.

“Something didn’t feel right.”

The delivery driver who trusted his instincts

Dantas returned to the house. “I pushed some branches away, so I could get a better look, and that’s when I saw the lady face down on the floor.”

The driver immediately called an ambulance, and paramedics found a diabetic woman in her 60s suffering from hypoglycemia. They revived her with glucose and took her to the hospital to treat her dangerously low blood pressure.

While she was being treated, Leandro put her groceries away. When she got out of the hospital, he visited her again and even brought her flowers.

The woman published a letter in the local paper to applaud Dantas. “Leandro is such a wonderful chap,” she wrote. “I can’t thank him enough.”

For Dantas’ part, he believes he’s the lucky one, guided to a moment of grace. He points out he almost didn’t work that night and was covering another driver’s shift. “I think it was fate that I was called there that day… I believe God made me go back to the window.”
