My Kind Neighbour nomination

Greta from Stoke

I would like to nominate Estelle and Jayden on Willow Ave as they really look after my neighbour Mrs Roberts who is 99. Even though Estelle works pretty much full-time she is often over checking in on Eileen - making sure she is OK and that there is nothing she needs. She is often in her garden pulling out weeds and making sure things are neat and tidy. And what REALLY impresses me is that Jayden, Estelle's son goes over EVERY night to check everything is OK before Eileen goes to bed. I think they are TRULY AWESOME neighbours! Kindness in ACTION - Not just in words.
