A SIXTY-YEAR-OLD disabled homeless woman, who was living out of her car for months in a layby near Darfield, is just one of many who has been helped by a local group.
Hands On Heart, set up by mother and daughter duo Jill, 55, and Ashleigh Shotton, 21, of Carrfield Lane, Bolton-Upon-Dearne, found her in a layby off the A635 after someone told them of her plight.
Along with their neighbour Allison Marsh, and Les Camplin, a Doncaster man who himself was once homeless, Jill and Ashleigh work across Barnsley, Rotherham and Doncaster to help those in need.
