Celebrating your Deserving Doorsteps winners!
It’s with great joy and heartfelt warmth that we extend a
huge congratulations to our Deserving Doorsteps winners. The stories we’ve have
received from you, our community, have not only touched our hearts but also
shown that community spirit and kindness and is thriving in Greater Manchester
and Cheshire.
We’re incredibly grateful to everyone who shared a
nomination. Thanks to you, each winner is now receiving four deliveries of
Creamline essentials from our milkmen, each worth £25, to give them a little
boost and put a smile of their faces. From selfless neighbours to hardworking
parents, here are some of the inspiring stories from this year’s Deserving
Doorsteps winners…
Colin is my neighbour and he is constantly helping other
people in our community. From putting bins out to fixing people’s computers and
electrical equipment, helping to fix cars, helping to move furniture or lift
heavy items and unblocking drains, Colin is the very essence of a Deserving
Doorstep. It would be a lovely way to say thank you for being such a helpful,
selfless neighbour.
Colin, nominated by Hannah
My niece Steph is a single mum with a 10-year-old son who
has physical and learning disabilities. She copes so well with all the hospital
and doctors appointments plus taking him to his special school. She does all
this with a smile on her face.
Steph, nominated by Carolyn
She has had a really rough few months, facing eviction notices and struggling
financially with a landlord who is constantly pressurising her. She struggles
financially but will always put her 15-year-old daughter first. She may be struggling
but she continues to teach her daughter and the children in her school that
they should always be kind, no matter what challenges they may face.
Kelly, nominated by Mads
She had her third back operation on 12th December. She still worked, even
crippled in pain, due to needing money and Christmas etc. A little gift will
help her while she's off her feet and make her see she's not alone. She will do
anything for anyone.
Lyndsey, nominated by Kelly
After years of this family's contribution and charitable support to the wider
community, they have found themselves in a difficult situation in regard to
health concerns. There have been months of hospital appointments and a
life-saving operation. I cannot think of a more deserving family.
Mark and Sue, nominated by Deborah
Nothing is too much trouble. I need lots of support due to age and disability
but I can always rely on my next door neighbour for help and support. Good
neighbours are like gold at my stage of life.
Mandy, nominated by Lorraine
Margaret has had a difficult 18 months. She's so strong but she has been in a
lot of pain and many times it has broken my heart and we've cried together but
she keeps on going and always picks herself back up. I'd just like to do a
little something to give a pick-me-up and a treat for an amazing lady.
Margaret, nominated by Kerri
Almost 80 and continues to shop weekly for neighbours and take relatives to
visit family in hospital. Always willing to help his neighbours, whatever the
problem.
