I’m a mum-of-2 & begging strangers to fund furniture for my council house – as we’re finally getting a bigger place

A MOTHER living in emergency accommodation has begun begging strangers on the internet to help her buy furniture.

Vicky, a mum-of-two from the UK is currently living in temporary accommodation, but is hoping to be re-homed in a few weeks time.

The content creator, who has two daughters, Penelope and Phoenix, both of whom are under the age of three, expressed her hopes to be moved into a council property, but voiced her concerns at her lack of furniture.

Posting online, the 25-year-old shared a short clip asking strangers for help, leaving many open-mouthed.

The short video was captioned ‘TikTok at this point I’m coming to you guys, if you see this please interact’, to which Vicky then said: “I really need your help and I'm talking to every single person that comes across this video.”;

Vicky explained that she, her partner, their two kids and his teenage son are all living in one room in emergency accommodation.

She admitted: “We haven't got the money to private rent, not even close and also, we're only here for a maximum of six weeks and we're currently halfway through, then we get moved on to temporary housing, which I've just learnt is probably gonna be unfurnished.

“We desperately need to save up some money so we can furnish this place – of course, we have got our stuff in storage, but that's just not enough because we were in a one bedroom flat and where they could be putting us is a lot bigger.”;

Vicky, who has amassed 54,800 followers on TikTok, claimed that she isn’t used to having a living room, so buying furniture is “gonna be really hard.”;

As a result, she requested: “So if you can please interact on this video to push it out – TikTok is an amazing app and people do earn a lot of money on here.”;

The blonde beauty then confirmed that she gets paid 40p per 1,000 views on the video sharing app, through the platform's Creator Fund.

According to the TikTok officialwebsite, the Creator Fund “gives TikTok's best and brightest the opportunity to earn money with their creative talent.”

While it is not a grant or ad revenue program, the Creator Fund provides payment to qualified TikTokers based on a “variety of factors” across their content.

The website continued: “We want all creators to have the opportunity to earn money doing what they love and turn their passion into a livelihood.”

Let's see how good TikTok can actually be for people, especially people that really, desperately need it, like me and my family
