A struggling single mum who ate one meal a day just so she could feed her kids says her life has been changed thanks to £8,000 raised by kind donors - and she is now debt-free for the first time in years. Kelly Thomson, 43, had been eating one meal a day for nearly two years just in order to have enough food to feed her kids – until a fundraising page changed her life.
The mum-of-two had twice been hospitalised due to malnutrition amid the cost of living crisis because she had to forego meals – and even considered begging. But everything changed when Kelly launched a GoFundMe page a fortnight ago – and within days it had racked up more than £8,000.
She has now revealed the life-changing amount raised by hundreds of kind donors from all around the world has allowed her to pay off all her debts – and reclaim her kids’ toys from the pawn shop. Now debt-free Kelly, from Slough, said she has been able to sleep properly at night now the weight of her debts has been lifted. She can now eat three full meals a day and is able to do a weekly shop each week so the family always have full bellies.
