Ann Marie is a devoted mother to her two daughters, including 13-year-old Yasmin, who is autistic. She provides essential care to Yasmin, supporting her through difficult moments and helping her navigate the world.
The awards serve as a reminder that behind every person receiving care is someone providing it, often quietly and without rest, recognition or access to vital supports and services.
