Supermum and good neighbour Anne-Marie Robinson has a husband and two teenage sons to look after – but still has time to be next door’s ‘guardian angel’.
Anne-Marie has just been nominated as Bradford’s Best Neighbour.
Susan Potts, whose husband Alan has terminal cancer, wrote to the Telegraph & Argus to say the “kindness and love” shown by her neighbour is helping her own family “keep going, smiling and hoping.”
Mrs Potts said her neighbour in Kenmore Crescent, Wibsey, is her “rock”, whether it is helping with shopping, cooking meals, driving to and from hospital appointments and weeding the garden.
“This is a true friend,” Mrs Potts said. “She is our family’s angel.
“This to my husband is a great source of comfort knowing someone is loving and watching over us,” said Mrs Potts.
“I am blessed. She manages to do all of this and take care of her own husband and two teenage sons and still have time for me.
“I could never make her understand how much she means to me and my family. She wouldn’t believe me as she is too modest. Anne-Marie has restored my faith in human kindness.”
Mrs Robinson was surprised when she got a call from the T&A telling her she had been nominated for the award.
“I’m just glad to help,” she said. “I don’t work and my boys are 18 and 19 so I can help my neighbours out a lot – I enjoy it.
“If I was in the same position they are in I would hope someone would be there for me too.”
