Mum with just 14p to her name will get deposit for a house from £30,000 raised A homeless mum with just 14p to her name will be able to put a deposit down for a new home after more than £30,000 was raised for her in less than 24 hours.
The bid to help Rachel Finn has been backed by hundreds including pop star Lily Allen after tearfully telling BBC News crews she had just four 2p and six 1p coins to her name.
The 39-year-old was staying in temporary accommodation with her son Bradley when she featured in a report into vulnerable and low-income voters in Grimsby.
Her moving story led to an outpouring of support with a JustGiving page set up to support both her and the Rock Foundation foodbank reaching more than £29,000 in a day before donations were closed.
Pam Hodge, founder of the foodbank, told Grimsby Live that the money raised will provide much needed security to the food bank as it faces mounting demand for its services.
