Recently, Lauderridge Carrier Annex Letter Carrier Antoine Loussaint, Jr. saw a child attempting to cross a heavily-traveled NW 58 Terrace in Fort Lauderdale.

“I was shocked that there was a child without any supervision crossing the street,” said Loussaint. “I have kids," said Loussaint. "I would love for someone to do that for me."  

Loussaint assisted the child to safely cross the busy road, and then attempted to locate the parents without success. Then he called 911. Local authorities arrived and thanked him for rescuing the youngster from a dangerous situation.

Back at the Lauderridge Carrier Annex, Manager, Customer Services Camille Moscola-Calvo also thanked Loussaint for his bravery.
