A Tillicoultry mum facing sky-high energy bills to keep her daughter’s life-support equipment running has told of her shock after Hollywood A-lister Kate Winslet donated £17,000 towards the costs.
Speaking to the Observer yesterday, Carolynne Hunter, whose energy bills are set to soar to £1400 per month, has been left overwhelmed after the Titanic star responded to a GoFundMe appeal set up on her behalf, describing her as “a really kind woman”.
The family’s plight has made its way across the world, with more than £35,000 now raised, which Carolynne said was “truly heartwarming”.
