Kate Winslet pays a mother's electric bill

British actress Kate Winslet has donated £17,000 (around €19,400) via an online fundraising site to Carolynne Hunter, a Scottish woman who could no longer afford to care for her 12-year-old daughter in the face of high energy prices.

The child has severe cerebral palsy. Because she suffers from chronic breathing problems, she is dependent on oxygen. The BBC news channel reported on the case.

The 47-year-old actress contacted Hunter herself and sent her well wishes. According to the BBC, the mother said: "When I heard about the money I just burst into tears - I still can't believe it's true."

The family lives in a large house in Tillicoultry, Scotland - the house is not energy efficient but has enough space for the daughter's medical equipment. According to her own statements, the energy requirements of the devices plus heating currently cost her £6,500 per year, although the mother no longer heats most of the rooms.
