Thanking all drivers and delivery people

Andrew, a rider who was vacationing in Florida, met Kristin shortly after his wife Suzanne’s water broke about halfway through her pregnancy.

Kristin drove him to the laundromat to wash some clothes. Andrew told her his story, and instead of this simply being a single journey, Kristin went above and beyond. She acted as the couple’s support system while Suzanne was in the hospital, dropping off home-cooked meals and anything the couple needed. “She adopted us for our 10-week stay in the hospital,” Andrew says.

“I think Kristin is just the most uncommonly kind and generous person I have ever encountered in my life.” —Andrew, rider

Michelle is a courier in Manchester, England. As a mum and foster parent caring for 5 children, she likes to use the Driver app as her “me time” to get out of the house and see other people. “Over lockdown, I’ve had a lot of elderly customers,” she says. “I leave the food at the door, and I stand back and wait for them to take it in. And they just like to have a little chat, maybe because they haven’t seen anybody. So that’s what I do: I stop and I chat.”

Michelle’s bubbly personality and chatty nature has cheered people across Manchester as she delivers food to their door. Thank you, Michelle.

Jaswinder combines work on his family’s farm with driving with Uber. And he has taken about 32,000 trips, the highest number by any driver in India, over the 5 years he’s been driving. By using the Driver app, he has been able to take care of the expenses and create a more comfortable lifestyle for his family. “Driving with Uber gives me a sense of pride,” he says. “I drive on my own terms, and I run my own business.” Thank you, Jaswinder.
