A MUM of two who suffered a back injury while helping an elderly woman who had fallen over is now struggling to make ends meet after she was forced quit her job.
Kellie Radcliffe's world crumbled in just a few months. Her dad died and she suffered an injury so debilitating that at times she has to use a wheelchair.
The mum-of-two was helping an elderly woman off the ground when she hurt her back. The 45-year-old, from Droylsden, noticed the stranger had fallen over outside her home and quickly rushed to her aid.
A week later, Kellie's back started to ache. She visited doctors and learned she had slipped a disc and it had affected the nerves in her legs.
While she waits for surgery, Kellie takes medication to manage the pain. The injury means she struggles to walk and can't stand for long periods.
On top of that, she was recently forced to give up her accounting job to care for her 11-year-old son with autism.
As living costs continue to rocket, the mum now finds herself in a desperate situation. She currently has £20 in her bank account and survives solely on a local foodbank - eating just one meal a day to ensure there's enough for her children.
