Mum of Six Uses TikTok to Fight Homelessness

In the UK, the issue of homelessness continues to affect thousands of families. One such family is that of Beth, a 28-year-old mother of six children, currently residing in temporary accommodation. Beth's story is one of resilience and determination in the face of hardship. "Hi nice to meet you. I'm Beth, I'm 28 & a mum to 6 children. We are currently homeless in temporary accommodation." she shares in her TikTok video, a platform she is using to raise funds for her own business. To achieve this, Beth is organising a large Jellycat giveaway. Her video, set to a 90s soundtrack, also touches on her past, growing up in council housing in the 1990s. The video has garnered significant attention, highlighting the increasing use of social media for fundraising and personal storytelling. Beth's story serves as a poignant reminder of the challenges faced by many families struggling with homelessness and the creative ways they find to overcome adversity.
