Your Heroes Awards Nominee 2024

I want to nominate Neelam from Abimatic care who looked after my poorly aunt through her MND journey. We sadly lost my aunt after a cruel battle.

Anyone that knows about MND will know what an utterly cruel disease it is. It robs a person of everything including their dignity in the end. My aunty was only 64, she was diagnosed last June. In the end she was totally mute, fed via a feeding tube and unable to walk. Neelam Shahzadi worked for a company called Abimatic care Ltd, sourced through the NHS. All of the careers at Abimatic were brilliant but Neelam was extra special. The dedication and care given to my aunt in her final months is something we will never forget.

To give some examples; Neelam would (sometimes) work 24 hour shifts just because my aunty felt more reassured when she was there. She has been known to come in on her days off because my aunty was distressed and the other nurses couldn’t soothe her. She spent money from her own pocket to buy things my aunt might like, She gave her head massages, sat for hours watching films, and making her laugh. She did all this and had a husband and two little children at home herself. She is a true hero!
