I am nominating Mel Wilkinson as a local hero. She is an absolutely amazing woman and solo foster mum who constantly has around five foster children on the go. She has adopted two foster children and also has two children of her own. The level of love and commitment she gives to these children day in day out is incredibly humbling and I am in awe of her selflessness. Her whole life is centred around these kids, ensuring they receive the level of care they so rightly deserve. Please vote for Mel as she has been making a difference in the lives of these kids every day for the past seven years :)
