- ROSWELL, Ga. (WRBL) - In the hustle and bustle of the holiday season, one delivery driver dropped off more than just gifts and now people from all over have blessed him in return.
What appeared as a simple holiday delivery, quickly turned into a Christmas miracle full of hope, love, and joy for Jessica Kitchel.
Kitchel and her husband Mack live in Roswell, Georgia, with their daughter Charlie and newborn, Chancy. On a day she thought a few packages were arriving, she checked her Nest door camera to find so much more.
Kitchel’s Nest video camera captured a UPS delivery driver saying, “If this is a ‘it’s a boy’ house, I hope all is going well with your newborn. I had a child at around the same time you guys did, I just hope everything is going good, God bless, and Happy Holidays.”
And as the driver walked away, he was unaware of the impact he’d be leaving behind.
“Like most parents, in those first few weeks at home, it can feel isolating,” said Kitchel. “The moment that he said that was a time I needed to hear that encouragement at the most important time. I was blown away that he would take a second to end his day to leave that message for me to see how I was doing, it just blew me away.”
The search began and Kitchel was determined to find the driver and thank him for the kind message. Meantime, she left a token of appreciation on her doorstep in the event he returned before hand.
With the help of social media, the search didn’t take long. A few days later, Kitchel was introduced to Dallan Harrell, a seasonal driver for UPS, and the kind message he left behind actually hit close to home for him.
“For me it was about bringing in a new life, it’s also a new experience and now you’re solely dependent for another individual, so with me being in the realm, I’m a parent now, I just wanted to check on them,” said Harrell.
Kitchel was so moved by his thoughtfulness, she had to share it on social media.
“I mean it blessed me, and I thought I have to put this out there and let other people know and I was blown away by how much it blessed everyone that got to see it that day and through the last several days since it happened,” said Kitchel.
While they spoke on the phone, she had yet to meet him in-person, until five days later when Harrell was back in the neighborhood delivering packages and this time the Kitchel’s were home.
“When I heard the knock at the door, I just knew it had to be him,” said Kitchel.
After Kitchel shared the message to social media, folks from all over have joined in to clear Harrell’s registry for his newborn, a way of giving back to him for his kind gesture.
“It’s completely overwhelming and this is just on paper, I have yet to see everything be delivered and feel it even more, overzealous with that joy,” said Harrell.
“I had no idea the magnitude of the people wanting to help,” said Kitchel. “Yes, he has a newborn, there’s so many things you need with a newborn, and so to just see how incredible the community has been, and his registry has exploded, and I just can’t wait to see what his doorstep looks like next week.”
Kitchel and Harrell also find common ground somewhere else: the power in a small act of kindness.
“I hope and I know it’s made me reflect on taking the second in your day to just see how you can be kind to somebody, and the magnitude, the power of just words of kindness,” said Kitchel. “You know, they’re free, and it can just completely impact someone’s life.”
“You never know what people are experiencing no matter how good it looks from the outside,” said Harrell. “People don’t hear these messages as often as they should or get the hugs, or kisses that they should, especially around this time, people are missing loved ones, my message is to just pay it forward.”
Kitchel says Harrell’s registry is nearly 90% sold out.
And the good news doesn’t stop there, Harrell says UPS has offered him a full-time job with his own route once this holiday season comes to an end.
It’s safe to say this story proves you can count on more than just Santa to deliver this Christmas season.

My heart is so full right now. I am so grateful to UPS for offering him a full-time job. He is exactly the type of delivery person that they should employ.
Yes!!!!! I am so happy for him!!!! ❤❤❤
😢😢😢yes, yes, yes 😢😢😢
Bravo to him, the family that shared the video and UPS as a company that employed him full time. He will be a great ambassador for all their employee. What a great story!!!

It's crazy how one small kindness can change people's lives. I'm happy for these people.
Yes GOD🙌🏽
That man has a kind soul.
Such a beautiful and deserving young man. Thank you so much for showing a positive and uplifting story featuring a young black man. There are so many wonderful young black men in society. It's a shame that we don't get to see more of their kind acts!
This is proof that we can all get along in this world without all the hate it's all about LOVE!!!!!
Amen 🙏 ❤️
@Robert your a sorry human being bro smh!!!!
Exactly. We should stop allowing false narratives and biases that divide us....but truth and compassion that unites us
Love your comment. This was a beautiful story x
@@ailishoreilly9581 thank you🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿
You can see being a father completely changed his life. Such a beautiful moment.
yeah? you can see that from a small clip? you know this man? you know what he's been through? come on guy... nice but yet so silly... you know nothing
@@gregscott4479 lol yeah, he could off been like that since he was a kid.
@@gregscott4479 exactly my thought...
@@gregscott4479 if you've had a kid you dont need the clip to know that as a fact mr badass in the youtube comment section.
Smh, he seems to have always been that type of person....they come in all walks.
A simple act of kindness can mean more than anyone could know. Great to see, blessings to their families
Indeed.
This kinda of stuff just doesn’t seem to happen enough anymore. It’s awsome to see this kindness on both sides revealed for others. What a great example. God bless you all.
I’m not crying you’re crying 🥺😂
No...you're crying 😄😄
All of you crying 😂😂
@@JustinMacsMoon thug tears bro 😢😭😂
@@giorgiomarte9131 , it's not me! it's my dog crying! Where's my Kleenex....for the dog...
Damn Onions 🤣🤣
Human kindness and caring don't cost anything, yet the returns are endless. Great story and thanks for sharing.
I worked for UPS for over 30 years and came across many coworkers like this young man. Also the Fedex and USPS people on my routes were a caring group of individuals! You get to know these people and they become your friends!
Our local FedEx and UPS drivers are amazing here as well. They've offered to set a very large, heavy object inside the door for me when I was pregnant. They've helped each other carry an awkward package for one person to deliver on their own. Just little things, but they're big. I love these guys.
I think they need tips!
@@JavaJane87 They could've gotten FIRED for that FACTS. Stop trying to use kindness for your get over tactics on innocent hard working people Heavy 📦
@@kingofuseddurablecars.ls6040: That's not very nice now, is it ☹
What a sweet young man. And she’s a lovely woman!
His parents did a great job! I can’t even imagine the father he will become. Many blessings to him, and all reading this🤙
He will not be hired as a full-time UPS driver though...

That's apparent. Still, your honesty is appreciated.

*GREAT Life lesson.*
You're welcome, Jonothan. Be well, All
This is so awesome. Delivery persons and Mail carriers are definitely underrated. Bless them
Deliverymen*
Regardless of what the feminists will tell you, women are in fact human too.
I'm not a people person, but when people act with kindness,it brings a tear to my eye.
You and me both, John. We don't have to enjoy company to appreciate kindness. I wish you well. :)
Same. Reminders that the world isn't so horrible and it's up to us to make it beautiful
You’re a very compassionate person. I’m hard to get to know. But will cry over an act of kindness. It’s so beautiful.
Same here. I'm not a people person. But that's because so many people are mean. Wish everyone was like this young man. World would be better place
How nice to see that there are still kind people in this world and a good uplifting story to bless us all.
Such a beautiful story and I’m glad he was offered a full time job with UPS, well deserved!
What a blessing . Congrats young man. You deserve it.
Such a truly wonderful young man he deserves a full time job and all the blessings coming his way, we need more people like this family and young man. God bless you both. 🙏🙏👍👍
Some people are fighting to make this world a better place together we can.
He was not fighting. Quite the opposite.
Sweet story, life brings you so much sometimes you just have to take it all in and do the best you can with it.
I wish him nothing but good luck.
If the world had more people like this, it would be a better place..God bless all
As a Delivery driver myself, small thing's go a long way. Good on you mate, congrats on the little one.
All around. That's why it's important to be kind to delivery/ service workers as well. We customers never know how much of a difference we can also make in their days as well!....Thank you for ALL that you do🙏🏽💞
@@sanacole1543 very true… I’m a tradesmen and it means the world when someone even gives me a cookie (cA$h is also pretty sweet when it hits your hand lol) - but for real I meet some amazing people
Yup, did that for a couple years myself during my college years, part time. One family in particular really liked me and ended up inviting me over for dinner one night. Had some great food, drinks and a fun night listening to classic rock and their mixtapes just talking about life. Never really did that with my parents so it was a good time. Ended up doing that about 6 more times till I moved out of state for work upon graduating. Great people though, won't forget them.
❤ Young man, you are remarkable. You're going a long way. Congratulations on your baby and your full time job❤
Just when you think there are no nice people in the world. God bless all who showed kindness!
Amazing what the young man did for the family on his route & what’s amazing is that his heart called him to do something this amazing!
So happy UPS offered him a permanent position, these are the drivers you want on your payroll. My Husband’s a UPS driver, they truly are the best!
Cool. Too bad I worked inside the warehouse
After all the evil we see daily...always remember...
God's angels do roam this earth!!
As a currier driver minutes are money to us. God bless him!
All I can say is "WOW" in the most positive way !
This was beautiful. I love it. As a father of 3, I can honestly say I've never been happier or more proud, both before & since my children were born. I was in the 10th grade when my first son was born. I was actually terrified of becoming a father. I thought my hopes & dreams were over. Until his mother passed him to me when I went in her hospital room. He was so lil, so perfect, he was the best parts of me. When his mom passed him to me, he was asleep & he woke up for a second & looked at me for a second & went back to sleep. I put him on my shoulder, sat in the recliner by his mom's bed & we all took a nap. I wasn't afraid anymore, I was honored, I was proud & happy. Anytime I was away from him, wherever he was, was where i wanted to be. And when i was with him, there was no place else I'd rather be. The same for when his lil brother & lil sister were born. At 27 y/o I can honestly say, I had never & will never achieve anything greater in life than being my children's father. When I'm exhausted & want to give up, the mere thought of them is all i need to keep me going. They literally saved my life. I was young & naive, trying to make money in the streets &, long story short, some guys we had beef with caught us lacking when we were playing ball. All of us were hit. I don't wanna go into all the details bcz it still hurts deeply. But my son was all that was on my mind on the way to the hospital. When i was released from the hospital a couple weeks later, i wanted revenge. I went home to my guns & ammo to set some shit off. And just before i was getting ready to leave. My son & my lady came home, & he yelled out, "Daddy, we're home". While I was hearing him & his mother laugh, the man upstairs asked me if i hated the dudes that hit us, more than I loved my son & my lady. I put my gun & ammo back in my shoebox & put it back in the top of the closet, & went & watched my son's favorite movies with him & his mom. Keeping me from doing something stupid. I can go on & on about my babies. They're my whole world. Which is why my 1st son's middle name is Atlas (the titan that holds the world up), & why my 2nd son's name is Terrence (the male version of Terra. The name of our planet/world), & 2 y/o daughter's name is Gaia (the titan that represents the world). They literally are my world.
Smart man. God bless you!
Such a sweet story!! I'm sure you're a great dad and your children's names are beautiful!❤
such a beautiful story ❤
Atlas was made to hold the weight of the world FOREVER, as a PUNISHMENT of Zeus. That is like wishing all the weight of the world on your son.
If your daughter is Gaia, you'd better hope she doesn't meet Tartarus.
You do realise, telling your story, that if you had gone looking for those people, you would have been just one more of the gun nutter headlines in the news, every week, in America.
Probably shot down by police and your children forever embarrassed to admit they were related to you.
That is WHY so many people are against free access to guns. People with so little self control, so little adult rationality, can access guns immediately. Even though you were lucky enough to not have access to your target victims, before you finally became rational again.
Your first reaction would probably have meant your children would have been fatherless.
You would either be shot down by police or in gaol for decades. Maybe on death row. Your children and wife would live with that shame.
@@kissmycrown3453 Not smart.
Atlas was FORCED to carry the weight of the world on his shoulders, FOREVER, by Zeus. IT WAS A PUNISHMENT.
That is like wishing the unnecessary weight of the world on your small child.
A little bit of education might do more to help those children. In fact, Atlas was in part holding the world up to try to keep Gaia from Tartarus.
That is the kind of man that UPS should want working for them!!! So excited they gave him a permanent position!! Awesome!!! So nice!!!!! 💜
Humanity at its finest 😊
This young man is living proof that it go's without saying...
Love is Life
And
Life is Love
💜🧔💜
This young man is a TRUE BLESSING from the Lord!! May God continue to shower you in His love while you continue to spread His word to the community & the world!! You're the best!!
Yes, I'm spreading the "word" of the Lord. Leviticus 25:44-44, the "Lord" clearly says: "Your male and female slaves are to come from the surrounding nations to BUY. You can bequeath them to your children as inherited PROPERTY FOR LIFE! However, you must not rule over your fellow Israelites ruthlessly." Praise the Lord!
You never know how your words and actions can affect someone else....God bless all
THESE ARE THE KINDS OF STORIES THAT SHOULD BE MAKING FRONT PAGE HEADLINES!
When they do, this world will be a completely different place in which to live. Humanity will not overlook the negativity that needs our collective attention but will grow to understand how to put each issue into perspective.
We would move from selfish, greedy and obnoxious to predominately sharing, loving and far more productive and prosperous.
Peace to all.
Definatly a young man who is an Asset to our nation and his community! so heartwarming and kind! Hope he reads these comments so he can see how he impressed so many people and made this mothers day go a lot more kinder! GOD Bless Both your families with those new bundles of joy and love!
It is great and warms my heart to see people caring and showing love for one another.
Both of you parents ROCK. !!!!!!!!
Its the little things that make all that matter...
And UPS made a good move.thats the face of UPS for 2022 if you ask me.
Blessing to both 👪..families

LOVE & KINDNESS matters!! We're all going through so much right now. We have to be more aware of the type of energy we're putting out. Just a small gesture of love & kindness can make a BIG difference in someone's day!!!!!! And it's not corny, it's actually pretty cool!!!! Think about days when you're just really feeling down. Wouldn't it be really cool if someone showed up for you?? At the end of the day we're all brothers and sisters. We need each other!! LOVE, LIGHT and DIVINE BLESSINGS to ALL!!!👍💞👍💞👍💞👍💜💕💜👍

This is my favorite video at this point! May God bless this young man's baby and his selfless heart ♥️
Dude earned it... not because he was looking for a reward or payback... but because he has a real heart and he wanted to share his joy with others... Bravo bro... I would hire you in a heartbeat to represent my company.
Making me cry! Ty to everyone who blessed the driver and his family and way to go Ups
Why am I crying? Maybe because this story has given me so much hope in a world where it seems devoid of hope at the minute and reassured me that good is still out there. Thank you so much x
Truly heartwarming. I love seeing good people do wonderful things. Thanks for sharing this story. It really put a smile on my face. God bless them all!
So beautiful! This is the world we used to live in. We need to get back to there and stop all this foolishness that's been happening. May God bless these families and continue their spirit of love towards one another.❤
