THE latest recipient of The Mail’s Bouquet of the Week is “a little star” who has supported people with dementia.

Four-year-old Amber May was nominated for the flowers by her mum Wendy Shaw after her daughter donated two of her baby dolls to residents in a care home.

Wendy was full of praise for her daughter, who goes to North Walney Primary School.

She said: “Amber is so kind and caring to everyone she knows - it doesn’t matter who it is.

“So when she heard she could help people by donating her dolls for people with dementia she wanted to get involved.

“I have worked with people in care home who have dementia so I knew how to describe it to her.

“I really want her to get the recognition she deserves.

“She is so kind and thoughtful and this shows exactly the kind of person she is.”

Amber initially donated two dolls she was given for Christmas and is keen to give more.

Wendy added: “Amber said she wanted to make people happy.

“She is a little star.”

Amber and Wendy live in Chelmer Garth, Walney, and it sounds like Amber will love the flowers.

Wendy said: “Whenever we go shopping she doesn’t ask for sweets and chocolate - she asks for flowers, so she will love them.

“It will make her so happy.”

Wendy said her daughter was also keen on dancing and gymnastics.

She added: "Amber said to me: ‘I want to make these people happy and help them.’

“I feel it’s important for her to understand the way of the world, and her doing this selfless act of kindness makes us really proud.

“A little recognition for her will definitely not go unnoticed and will make her so happy.”
