Nominate Your Real Woman of the Week – This Week’s Winner Is Ciara Lee Kin

We all have a special woman in our lives: it might be your mother, sister, aunt, cousin or a friend. Chances are you don’t see them every day but they are always at the end of the phone when you need them, and this person always seems to know the right thing to say, no matter what the situation. This week, our real woman is Ciara Lee Kin. Ciara was nominated by her sister Orla who tells us, in her own words, why Ciara deserves to win. "I was widowed two and a half years ago, aged just 31 and Ciara has been there for me every step of the way." "When I gave birth two weeks after being widowed she was there, she was also there for every single hospital appointment and forced the doctors to do as I asked when I wasn't strong enough to ask myself." "It continues to this day, Ciara has been my sounding board and when I lose it she tells me I'm normal." Ciara Lee Kin is the winner of this week's Littlewoods Ireland €100 voucher "She has two small kids of her own and yet is always there to help me day or night. When I laughed she laughed with me, when I cried she cried too and when I fell down she picked me up." "No matter what I do, she tells me its the right thing!  I have now moved forward with my life - gone back to work and met a wonderful new man and she has been my biggest cheerleader." "Ciara is the best sister anyone could ask for and I just want her to know how much I appreciate it." We hope Ciara enjoys her €100 voucher, and if you have someone in mind for our Real Woman Of The Week please get in touch. Readers should submit their entries to info@her.ie and should also include an image of their nominated woman. Maybe it’s your sister who is studying hard for exams while juggling childcare, or a neighbour who cares for their elderly parents. It could be your Mam who is always there with encouraging words no matter how many times you fall or a friend who always makes you laugh, even when things seem bleaker than ever before. Whoever it is, we want to hear from you!
