Struggling mum working three jobs forced to skip meals to feed her kids

"I don't know what we are doing wrong in the grand scheme of things to be working so, so hard and being stuck in this loop."

Those are the heartbreaking words of mum-of-three, Kate Worby, who is working as many hours as she can - but still can't make ends meet. Along with her partner Charles Skudde, the two skip meals so that their children can eat, they only heat rooms where their children sleep and have to walk around the supermarket with a calculator to stick to their tight budget, reports Devon Live.

Kate, 29, has three jobs as a children's entertainer for her own business Magical Guests. She also works as a carer and a cleaner. Her partner, Charles, 29, is a full-time university student who also runs a valet business and has worked nights as a carer at a local care home until it recently shut down.
