A heartbroken mum has been forced to tell her 10-year-old son that he won't be getting any Christmas presents this year due to the crippling cost-of-living crisis.
Christine Borton said she was left devastated at having to tell her son Dayjanta Samuels not to expect any gifts on Christmas Day as she can't afford it. But the 48-year-old said that sadly, Dayjanta 'already knew' and 'wasn't surprised' that would be the case due to the family’s 'desperate' financial situation.
The single mum-of-three said he even looks at the electric meter to see how much the family has used. Christine said she has been struggling to pay the bills since she was left unemployed due to medial reasons and lost her job as a support worker last year.
