Mother-of-22 Sue Radford says she is donating a car full of toys to less fortunate children this Christmas but is concerned she will be trolled for the generous gesture.
Sue, 46, from Lancashire, is mum to the biggest family in Britain and said she would face criticism whatever she did, The Sun reported.
Posting the image online, she added the caption: “Damned if I do and damned if I don’t post things like this but hey ho.
“I am posting this to let people know tomorrow is the last day to drop toys off at the Salvation Army, so many children will be so happy for the toys that are gifted for Christmas.
“If you can donate please do let’s put a smile on those children’s faces this Christmas.”
But plenty of people were quick to stand up for her kind gesture on Instagram.
One said: “People slate them for posting about the things they do for charity as if they’re bragging they can do it.
“But when they don’t post it they get moaned at for not doing it.. on social media you can’t win.
“I think Sue & Noel are a lovely couple & people should leave them alone.”
Another added: “Half the people who moan about how you spend your own money have probably never donated to a single charity in their lives. This is an amazing thing to do.”
Sue and Noel are parents to Chris, 32, Sophie, 27, Chloe, 26, Jack, 24, Daniel, 22, Luke, 21, Millie, 20, Katie, 19, James, 18, Ellie, 16, Aimee, 15, Josh, 14, Max, 12, Tillie, 11, Oscar, 10, Casper, nine, Hallie, six, Phoebe, five, Archie, four, Bonnie, three, and Heidie, one.
Their 17th child Alfie was sadly still born on July 6, 2014.
The Radfords rely on their pie shop business and live in a 10-bed former care home.
