Actress Kate Winslet has donated $20,000 to a mother facing astronomical home energy bills to operate her disabled daughter’s life-support equipment.
Oscar-winning actress Kate Winslet has donated £17,000 to a mother facing astronomical home energy bills to operate her disabled daughter’s life-support equipment. Carolynne Hunter’s 12-year-old daughter Freya has cerebral palsy as well as other severe health problems and disabilities. She relies on receiving oxygen for chronic breathing problems and receives 24-hour at-home nursing care.
“Our journey as a family has been very traumatic and I just feel done at this point in my life,” Hunter told BBC Scotland. “When I heard about the money I just burst into tears – I thought it wasn’t even real. I’m still thinking is this real?” CNN has reached out to Hunter and to Winslet’s representatives for comment. Hunter and her family are among millions of Britons facing a challenging winter amid the UK’s economic turmoil and soaring energy costs.
