Berkeley Mom Is An Amputee, But It Doesn’t Slow Her Down

BERKELEY, NJ— Moms do so much for everyone around them. We try to celebrate them all year long, but Mother's Day is a perfect opportunity to shout it from the rooftops and post it on Patch: Mom rocks!

Here at Patch, we've launched an initiative to help recognize the awesome moms and mom figures in communities like yours.

This submission comes from Amber Roblenski who nominated Diana Roblenski of Berkeley.

What makes your mom extra special?

My mom is an amputee, but she never let's that stop her. She has always taken great care of me, my siblings and her two granddaughters. Lately, she has had to take time off from work because she can't wear her prosthesis. That doesn't stop her from food shopping, going to restaurants or driving up to Rutgers to come visit me.

Why do you feel your mom deserves the spotlight?

My mom is very selfless and never does anything for herself. My mom would literally give the shirt off her back to a stranger.

Happy Mother's Day to Diana Roblenski, and thank you for all you do!
