Freya Hunter, 12, has severe cerebral palsy and relies on oxygen at home for breathing problems.
A mother is facing a £17,000 home energy bill to operate the life-support equipment her disabled daughter needs to stay alive.

"I've been worrying how to afford to pay for the amount of energy I need for the past seven months. Staff monitor Freya's heart rate as well as oxygen levels and carry out frequent suctioning to keep her airways clear.The family lives in a large council house - which is not energy efficient - so there is space for Freya's equipment.
"And we've cut back on everything that we can. My older daughter and I historically have lived in fuel poverty as we don't use the heating in the rest of the house.Freya needs costly medical equipment for her care at home
