Oscar-winning actress Kate Winslet has donated £17,000 to a mother facing astronomical home energy bills to operate her disabled daughter’s life-support equipment. Carolynne Hunter’s 12-year-old daughter Freya has cerebral palsy as well as other severe health problems and disabilities. She relies on receiving oxygen for chronic breathing problems and receives 24-hour at-home nursing care.
“Our journey as a family has been very traumatic and I just feel done at this point in my life,” Hunter told BBC Scotland. “When I heard about the money I just burst into tears – I thought it wasn’t even real. I’m still thinking is this real?” CNN has reached out to Hunter and to Winslet’s representatives for comment. Hunter and her family are among millions of Britons facing a challenging winter amid the UK’s economic turmoil and soaring energy costs.
What did Kate do to her face….Her eyes and especially her left one ! Gawd!
That is nice to hear. 👏
While I applaud her for doing so, we need a far better healthcare system. The US already puts more money into healthcare overall than the US military (which we all know has a huge budget). What are they really doing with that money? They can afford to dramatically lower costs.
We want Brazilian institutions to respect the constitution, we want the end of juristocracy in Brazil, we Brazilians want our freedom of expression back and the end of prior censorship!

And yet we spend hundreds of millions of our dollars helping people who are not America s who are flooding into our country illegally. God bless Kate but this is a microcosm of what’s going on.
She is beautiful.
Church benevolent funds are helping many struggling families all across this country.
I'm not sure we should be celebrating this, maybe why someone cant pay their heating bill should be more in the forefront?
That's like me donating $10. You gonna write about me too?
Kate Winslet a Good girl with a kind,good big generous heart.God Bless🙏🙏🙏
God bless her with a good health 🙏. We done Kate
I prefer the story in the Bible where a poor lady with 2 copper coins gave her all to what she believed in. It’s not about the amount more about the percentage. This is also why our government leaders uninspire! They all get rich. Waiting for the one who would become poor!
Nice!
And the energy companies don't give a damn about it!🔥
She's worthless! There was room for Jack on that door!
Congratulations for paying for a couple of years
Thanks Joe Biden
