Laura Garibaldi

Lakewood Letter Carrier Technician Laura Garibaldi while delivering one of her five routes heard a loud crash accompanied by screams coming from one of her customer’s home.

She immediately went to investigate. She discovered the back wall of the customers garage missing and a car partially submerged in a swimming pool. She immediately dialed 911 and opened the passenger door to help customer Julie Riggs out of the vehicle. A neighbor also heard what was happening and arrived and assisted 86 year old Robert Riggs out of the vehicle.

Emergency personnel arrived a few minutes later and neither of the Riggs had to be transported to the hospital.

Laura Garibaldi is certainly a Letter Carrier Hero. The Postal Service presented her an award for her heroic efforts.
