Things have become difficult for Claire's family

Claire lamented that she has been struggling to raise money to feed her family after her husband lost his life.

She said:

"With the cost of living crisis I just don’t know how I’m going to manage. I’m so scared. Rising costs would have been bad anyhow, but now we’re going from relatively stable to completely struggling.
"Somehow, I now have to keep this house warm and everyone fed and looked after, and with no warning. I just can’t see how I’m going to do it. We hadn’t saved for a funeral, so somehow I have to find the money for that as well."

How Luke Henaughan died

Claire, from Cannock, Staffordshire, was out of town when her husband fell sick at around 5.30 am.
