A carer mum has admitted she will have to go hungry in order to pay for electrical equipment needed to keep her unwell son alive.
Maxine Rothchester's disabled son Isaac, 9, has a rare condition called Allan-Herndon-Dudley syndrome which requires round the clock care and specialist equipment to keep him alive.
The carer, who has looked after Isaac since he was eight months old, said Isaac weighs just 11kg and his condition means he has the mental age of a newborn.
