A mum has shared her inspiring message after she was announced as a winner of our Local Heroes competition.
Sadie Paulsen, 20, and her nan Josephine, who died in 2019, were "best friends". Sadie looked after Josephine when she was ill, taking care of her needs and bringing her what she needed. Sadie, who had her son Shane when she was 16, is now studying a nursing degree at Liverpool John Moores University.
Sadie has been announced as a winner of our Local Heroes competition with Marco Pierre White Steakhouse Bar & Grill and Hotel Indigo after she was nominated by mum Carla , who called her a "beautiful person." Carla applauded how despite the tragic loss of her nan and later her dad Gary after she came out of sixth-form, she kept her "pride and joy" and managed to get a place at university.
