A concerned member of the community is appealing on behalf of an elderly woman after she was discovered living in squalid conditions with no heating.
Irene from Huyton, Merseyside now lives with just one tiny electric heater which she uses to try and warm her entire home after her gas supply was isolated, reports Liverpool Echo.
It leaves her without any central heating or hot water, causing one local resident to worry she "may not survive another winter".
