Joanne Kelsey Brown
This is what was said about her: "My mum has raised 2 girls on her own and is now raising a baby, she manages to pay bills and sort problems out. When I had cancer my mum put up with my tantrums and still helped me survive each day, even those moments when i would lay in bed and think I'm going to die she said "No, you won't"
I love you Mum."
Lisa Kartanou
This is what was said about her: "She juggles a university degree, looking after the house, her own children and many foster children, she also supports the refugee centre encouraging people to donate, works closely with the Plymouth Environment Centre and runs a knitting group and a book club.
In this climate, people need distractions from everyday life and all the help they can get. All the things that she does need appreciating. She is part of what makes Plymouth a diverse, exciting and friendly place to live in."
