I said I would look after her and I’ve been looking after her ever since. “I do almost everything for her, I take her to the doctors, I do her shopping, I look after her house, her bills and stuff like that.
A person needs care all the time. “If she ever needs me, all she has ever got to do is give me a phone call. She is part of the family now, we adopted a grandma.
”Pat said: "It feels as if I've got somebody I can trust and go to if I don't feel so well. Manny and his family have been very very good to me. "I love them and I trust them with my life.
If I want anything, all I have to do is push a buzzer and he'll come to help. "Manny spoke about the fateful journey from the hospital nine years ago when he first picked her up in his taxi. He said: “She was crying, and she said she’d lost her brother David.
He’s all she had in the whole world. She didn’t have any more family, no kids, no one. “I brought her to my home.
I thought, I can’t drop this lady off and just say ‘Here you are love, see you later. “I said to my wife her name was Pat, her brother has passed away and she’ll be stopping with us for a while. We made her a pot of tea.
”Pat said: "I thought it was very good of him. He took me to his home and gave me some chicken and chips. Rashmeen gave me a blanket and said I could stay there as long as I wanted.
"Pat then stayed at Manny’s for six weeks. She bonded with Manny, Rashmeen and the kids. Manny, who’s a British-Pakistani, said he took some flack from his community at first due to Pat’s funeral arrangements for her brother.
