A pizza delivery driver went above and beyond to help an older community member in need.
Aamir Ali was working in Warren, Mich., on Wednesday, July 16, delivering a Jet’s Pizza delivery order to a home. When he knocked on the residence’s door, no one answered, despite lights being on and a dog barking inside, WXYZ reported.
Worried that something could be wrong, Ali called the phone number that was attached to the order, and it was answered by Danielle Ratliff, who had paid for the food for her elderly mother, according to the outlet.

After telling Ratliff what was going on, Ali looked through a window in the home. It was then that he discovered the woman lying unconscious “on the floor,” he told WXYZ.
Ali got the help needed, and he later returned to the woman’s home to make sure that her dog was okay. While there, he noticed that the woman had left some of her belongings behind, so he packed them up and brought them to her at the hospital.
