After posting the message, Jess was able to figure out who this UPS driver was. So she invited him back to her home for a gift for him and his new baby, and she asked others to send gifts from his baby registry, too. Check out her post here:

Jess wanted to send a kind message back to the UPS driver, saying “Everyone please meet Dallen Harrell, our @ups angel.”
She posted links to his baby registry saying, “Please help me give this incredible angel a Christmas him and his family won’t forget!”
And people responded in kindness, clearing his list and sending a truckload of packages that arrived through FedEx. Reportedly, over half the FedEx driver’s load was for Harrell and his family!
“I can’t believe it all unfolded this way,” Harrell said of the gifts they received. “When I left the comment at the doorbell, I didn’t even expect to hear from them, and so many blessings have followed behind.”
But that’s not all. When UPS learned of Harrell going above and beyond in his work, the company hired him on with a permanent, full-time job instead of just for the holiday season that he was originally contracted for.
Harrell told reporters that he’s compassionate because he’s been through some difficult life circumstances, such as losing his father at age 5 and having his own open-heart surgery when he was only 13 years old.
The UPS driver with the kind message said, “I’d give someone the shirt off my back, and the last change in my cup holder.”
Hopefully everyone involved keeps the kindness going on!
