Strangers have raised more than £20,000 after a homeless mum was filmed putting 14p down on a table and saying that’s all she had to feed her son.Film crews recorded the moment she told them ‘That’s all our money’ as she placed down four 2p pieces and six 1p coins.

She said: ‘I really didn’t expect for there to be this sort of reaction to the story, it really has overwhelmed me to the point that I just don’t know what to do. ‘If people want to help me though, I ask that it is all done through the Rock Foundation, who are going to help me with food, furniture and housing, and anything after that, they can use to help others and continue the work that they do.’Rachel said she had been made homeless after she fell into rent arrears due to severe depression. She was also sanctioned by Universal Credit for missing an appointment, which further hit her financially.
Fuck me she is better off than I am

Wonder how many people are going to blame on.............
seepee26 Sad story about her, seems a genuine mental health case, but why isn’t her 18 year old son working either?
Let me tell you how much I hate Christmas knowing there are people out there living like this 💔
While it is heartwarming to see people react in such a positive way to one woman's plight, this is not an isolated incident. Perhaps a general crowdfunding sight where the money raised can go to all those in need would have more impact.
