Coastal communities: Hastings mother relies on food donations
Tracey Lavender, from Hastings, East Sussex, relies on the town's charity Dom's Food Mission.
Since having to give up her job as a carer to look after one of her children, Tracey said she has struggled to make ends meet.
She said: "I have sat in my front room and cried because I haven't been able to pay my rent and my bills."
