Jill Corbin

Roscommon

Her birthday is tomorrow and she deserves so much! She is on disability and still goes out of her way to help everyone! I'm her neighbor and she helps me to get back and forth to work since I don't have a vehicle. She just goes out of her way to help whenever! I just believe she is deserving of this nomination!

Dave Vantivelt

Houghton Lake

Dave is the guy in the neighborhood that will do anything for anyone. Today he is putting up window tint for his 83-year-old neighbor. He fixes sprinklers and hoists. He will mow your grass if you are away. He always has the tool you need to borrow or a cold beverage on the ready. Today, there are just not enough guys like Dave that are the backbone of the neighborhood and keep everything smooth and on track.

Michael Mead

Prudenville

 For 2 years when we were unable to go to our cottage because of Covid our neighbor Mike was there to cut the grass or shovel the driveway or do what ever needed to be done. He daily checked the cottage to make sure everything was ok, no frozen pipes or damage. He also was able to help our elderly neighbors who were in poor health by cleaning up their lawns during the fall and winter months. It was comforting for them to know he was next door if they needed anything. He never had to be asked to help, he would just show up and do the job and with a friendly wave head back home. He is someone you can count on regardless of the situation and we as neighbors would be lost without him.

Fred "Butch" Fischer

Grayling

Why is this person so special? - We live in on a private dirt road with 8 residences. Without being asked, Butch and his tractor has graded our road several times during the year for several years. Leveling out the inevitable ruts and "road ponds" and saving us from calling tow trucks to get us pulled out. No fanfare, Butch just does it. He is our neighborhood hero.
