AN 85-YEAR-OLD woman whose daughter has Down’s syndrome and dementia says she has been overwhelmed with the flood of messages of support and offers of help she has received since her plight was featured in the Chronicle.
Sybil Davey says she saves the taxpayer £4,000 a month by looking after her 52-year-old daughter Lorraine at home rather than putting her into full time care.
Last month she told the Chronicle she felt totally demoralised that the help she does receive is being continually ‘penny-pinched away’.
We have been at the heart of our community, every week, since 1858. The town and its people have changed dramatically since then but the Chronicle has been a constant.
It’s our belief that news should be available to everyone regardless of their circumstance. But we need a little helping hand to do so.
Production Editor, Ashley Ball, said: "In an ever changing media world, it’s important that news is reported correctly and without any hidden agenda.
Your support allows us to keep holding decision-makers to account and report on everything that happens in the town, good or bad, fairly."
