Two struggling parents with a toddler have been left with no option but to sleep in their car with hardly any of their possessions amid the cost of living crisis. The family were found sleeping in a Kia vehicle on Friday night in Leeds by an organisation that supports vulnerable citizens, and were reportedly huddled together using clothes to maintain warmth.
The increasing cost of food, bills and mortgages has left many families struggling to get by and concerns are growing that the number of homeless families in the UK will be on the rise as a result. Vulnerable Citizen Support Leeds were called out to the helpless family after they received word of two adults sleeping in their car in the city, the Mirror reports.
When the team arrived to aid the situation, much to their surprise, they also discovered a toddler in the car with the couple. The family had "only a few bags of clothing and not much more", the support group said.
