A Leeds woman has vowed she "will not rest" until she raises enough money to bring her mum back to the UK after she was left homeless and in desperate need of food and medication.
Peris Newlove's mum, Rose, moved back to her native Kenya "with one suitcase and just enough money for her plane ticket" in 2019. She had hoped to live on her grandad's farm, but Peris claims Rose, 50, has been shunned by her own family because of her lack of cash.
Writing on her Instagram account, Peris, 24, explained that her mum had to have surgery after being diagnosed with thyroid cancer, meaning she now requires life-long medication. "This is a very difficult time for me as my mother Rose decided to go back to Kenya but she has found herself in a bad way," she said.
