Doorbell camera captures kindhearted FedEx driver sanitizing a package to protect an 11-year-old girl from COVID-19 after seeing family's sign warning that she has an autoimmune disorder

A delivery man went above and beyond the call of duty when he sanitized a family's package after seeing a sign on their door warning that a child who lives there has an autoimmune disorder. 

Carrie Blasi, 49, from Boca Raton, Florida, posted the sign for her 11-year-old daughter Emma, who has Type 1 diabetes. The chronic condition puts her at a higher risk of life-threatening complications if she gets sick with the coronavirus.   

FedEx driver Justin Bradshaw, 28, was delivering a package to their home when he saw the note on the door. Instead of just leaving the box, he took the time to clean it and write a message assuring the family that it was sanitized.

Heart of gold: FedEx delivery man Justin Bradshaw, 28, took the time to sanitize a package to protect a young girl from coronavirus after seeing a warning sign on the family's door 

Security footage of the delivery shows Bradshaw doing a double-take when he walks by the warning sign that is taped to the family's door. 

'STOP — Someone in this house has an autoimmune disorder,' the sign reads. 'Those who are immunocompromised are more likely to contract coronavirus (COVID-19) and experience life-threatening complications. 

'Due to the widespread outbreak of this virus we are using an abundance of caution through practicing self-isolation and social distancing. We appreciate your understanding and cooperation. Please leave packages/deliveries on the doorstep.' 

After seeing the message, Bradshaw walks back to his delivery truck and grabs a paper towel and sanitizer, so he can clean the package for the family.  

'I sanitized [your] box once I’ve seen the note on [your] door,' he wrote on the box.

'Stay safe': After seeing the sign on the door, Bradshaw wrote a note on the package assuring the family that he had sanitized the box 

'Stay safe,' he added with a smiley face. 

The coronavirus can potentially live up to 24 hours on cardboard, according to a study published in The New England Journal of Medicine last month.   

Blasi was so touched that she shared photos of Bradshaw's note on the package and the warning sign on her door on Twitter. 

'We have a sign on our door for packages/mail as our 11-year-old daughter is a Type 1 Diabetic,' she explained. 'Our Federal Express delivery guy wrote this on our box "I sanitized your box once I’ve seen the note on your door" — and you can tell that he used sanitizer wipes on the box. Amazing!!' 

Bradshaw told Yahoo Lifestyle that he understands the precautions because he knows what it's like to have a high-risk child. His one-year-old daughter Nova was born at 28 weeks, weighing just 1 pound, 11 ounces.
