Struggling mum and dad forced to feed kids ready meals and sell possessions

A family struggling with the cost of living crisis have been forced to sell off their possessions.

Kevin and Nicola Gomersall, 40 and 39 respectively, say their lives have become a “nightmare” while they feed their kids less healthy ready meals as they struggle through the cost of living crisis. The couple also say they have to stay in all the time as they can’t afford to go out and they're spending £50 a week just to take one child to school, LeedsLive reports

Energy costs have also been through the roof for the large family with the children, aged 3, 10, 13, 15 and 17, all on their various computers or games consoles throughout the day as they’re off school. Kevin said: “It’s a bit of a nightmare. We don’t even get to go out anymore. We basically have to sit in because we have no more money to pay.
