'Kind Twitter users have rallied together to help a nurse, after she admitted being forced to use food banks to feed her two children.
Beverley Penman took to Twitter this week to reveal her harrowing ordeal, posting a picture of tinned food, dried pasta and even toilet roll she had been given in donations.
The single mother-of-two, who lives in Wiltshire, admitted she felt 'demoralised' resorting to foodbanks as a full-time nurse - and that telling her children they could not celebrate Christmas this year 'broke her'.
Ms Penman also confessed she 'never thought she would have to do this' in her profession in order to feed her family, resulting in Twitter users rallying around to help her.
Posting to Twitter, she wrote: 'A few weeks ago I had to turn to my local food bank as a nurse I never thought I would have to do this.
I've also taken advantage of my towns community fridge I feel demoralised that doing the job I do I've had to resort to this, austerity has hit me hard this is what I got'.
The mother said despite being a working mother, she still struggles with the cost of childcare as a single parent - and has extra expenses due to her son being diagnosed with autism. '
