Kate Winslet pays Scots mum's £17,000 energy bill to run daughter's life support
12.11.2022 - 16:43 / dailyrecord.co.uk
A Scots mum left with crippling energy bills from the cost of running her daughter's life support has received a £17,000 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.
Ms Hunter, 49, from Tillicoultry, Scotland, launched a GoFundMe fundraiser earlier this week to help her pay the soaring running costs of the equipment that keeps Freya alive, which includes a machine monitoring her oxygen and heart rate.
Just days into the campaign, which had a £20,000 goal, a donation of £17,000 marked “ Kate Winslet and family” was paid to the fundraiser – which has been confirmed as a contribution from the Titanic and Mare Of Easttown actress.
Ms Hunter told the BBC : “Our journey as family has been very traumatic and I just feel done at this point in my life.
“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?”
Winslet’s upcoming Channel 4 feature film, I Am Ruth, is set for release later this year and sees her play Ruth, the mother of a character called Freya – played by Winslet’s own daughter, 22-year-old Mia Threapleton.
Winslet co-authored the film – which looks at the mental health crisis affecting young people in the UK – alongside Dominic Savage, series creator of the I Am anthology of standalone dramas.
On her GoFundMe page, Ms Hunter said she has “no way of reducing” the energy in her home due to Freya’s needs and she faced a predicted annual fuel bill of £17,000 in January 2023 – up from just over £9,000 in October this year.
In August Ms Hunter told the PA news agency

One of the most impressive things the best actors in the world can do is develop electrifying chemistry with a co-star in such a short amount of time. These relationships make you believe so much in the story on screen, that a lot of the other aspects of filmmaking can fail and it’s still a quality film.
