She's devastated
A mum is heartbroken because she can't afford to send her daughter to a school disco due to the £2.50 entry free. The concerned parent is devastated that she can't take her five-year-old to the school event she has been excited about "all week".
The mum explained that she needs to tell her daughter that she won't be able to go to her "first Halloween school disco", reports The Mirror. She wrote: "I'm absolutely devastated that this is my life. I'm going to drop her and her siblings off and school and then head to the local foodbank so they have some food in their tummies tonight."I just have nothing left to give. I get paid on Friday but that's no use to her.
Fellow parents were quick to try to comfort the mum with their responses, and many said they hoped the school would be able to help her. One commenter said: "Please ask the school. I hope they will be kind enough to help you out." In a second follow up, the mum added: "Please no I wasn't asking anyone for anything. I am going to speak to school when I drop her off and hopefully they will understand and let me pay on Friday. My daughters dad is with us although he is disabled and we are on disability payments which are due on Friday. Thank you again for your kind comments."
