A single mum was speechless when a donation of food was left on her doorstep just before payday when she was running short of food.
Sarah-Louise Russell said the timing could not have been better as she was struggling before her next Universal Credit payment, the Echo reports.
The 24-year-old said: "Oakdale Children's Nursery normally organise food donations and packages - this time it was Seacombe Children's Centre, through a private donation, I think.
"I get Universal Credit so monthly payments and I'm only able to do one food shop a month, so when I got the food donation this time it was a week before I got paid so I didn't have much in and it was such a relief, I was so grateful.
"I think it's amazing the centre has done it off their own back not even my kids' nursery knew about this, it's beyond amazing."
Sarah-Louise has children Leighton, four, and Lilly, two, and is thankful for the extra support after moving to Wallasey just before the first lockdown in March 2020.
"The pandemic, like for everyone, has been the worst year I've had. It has affected my mental health so much and the kids have lacked social skills too.
"The children are still young so being stuck in a new small house is difficult as we moved here a week before the first lockdown."
After posting a picture of her food parcel in a local Facebook group, many praised the children's centre, one said: "Glad their helping people out."
Another added: "Well done to the centre."
