St. Louis UPS driver surprised by customers with check for new roof - St Louis Post-Dispatch

Carolyn Crump, a United Parcel Service driver from St. Louis, was surprised Friday by more than 60 of her customers — and their dogs — with a check for a new roof.

Residents on Crump's delivery route gathered Friday afternoon in Concordia Park to surprise the driver of more than 23 years.

“If I’d known this was happening, I would have brought the whole canister (of dog treats),” Crump said, holding a giant check that read "Happy Birthday." Crump's birthday is Monday.

Crump initially came back to the neighborhood because she was told there was a missing package. Instead, the beloved driver was led blindfolded down De Mun Avenue, where she received a check for a new roof.

That’s really cool.

A 23 year driver should be rolling in the money and return the check that probably came from folks who don't make 100k.

She’s making 100k a year why not donate that to some charity that can really use it

This kind of stuff pisses me off the money never gets to where it really needs to go

Just like this stimulus money I don’t need it but I’am sure the hell not going to turn it down

I usually look at it that way too then I start thinking, I have no way of knowing what her financial situation is. She could be a single mom and taking care of parents, etc. Or she could’ve been out of work for awhile. Who knows?

True enough I guess you never know

No, we do know. It's just like people like to find every possible reason never to think ill of someone.

She probably took the money and bought shoes. You know women and their damn shoes.

Amelda Marcos comes to mind.

I bet the community loved and respected her for her and knew personally it was a want and need.
