A single mum was forced to make beans on toast using a candle wax melter due to soaring energy costs.
The mum lives with two children under the age of 10 in Liverpool and reached out to Cllr Gerard Woodhouse who said he was saddened and felt physically sick after witnessing her desperation.
Cllr Woodhouse said he was personally dropping around supplies to the family due to staff shortages at the community centre when he witnessed the poverty.
