KATE Winslet said the story of a woman from Scotland facing a £17,000 energy bill simply to keep her daughter alive “absolutely destroyed” her. 

The Oscar-winning actress made a £17,000 donation to the GoFundMe page of Carolynne Hunter from Tillicoultry, near Stirling. 

Hunter’s 12-year-old daughter Freya, the youngest of four children, has severe complex health problems and disabilities, is non-verbal and blind and requires full-time oxygen and at-home nursing care.
