A Scottish mother facing soaring energy bills due to the cost of running her daughter’s life support has received a £17,000 (€19,400) donation from Kate Winslet.

Carolynne Hunter’s 12-year-old daughter Freya, the youngest of four children, has severe complex health problems and disabilities, is non-verbal and blind and requires full-time oxygen and at-home nursing care.
