A MUM-OF-SEVEN on benefits said she 'only wants money' after people offered to help her out with essentials. The woman, only known as Laura, shared a video on TikTok in a desperate attempt to boost her bank balance. In the clip, the dark-haired beauty, who claims to receive benefits, asked fellow social media users if there was anyone whom she could ''borrow'' some cash from.

Promising to ''pay back'', Laura revealed she wasn't after a huge sum: ''Just a fiver or a tenner.''. ''I'll give it to you back when I've got it. I am claiming benefits at the minute - UC, DLA [Disability Living Allowance] for all seven of my kids. ''But money's just going nowhere, cost-of-living has gone up now and I am struggling,'' Laura bravely shared with her 17k followers on the platform.

The mum-of-seven, who urged social media users to not ''judge'' her, claimed that there was ''no food in the fridge, no nappies, no baby milk'' and her children were in a need of ''new shoes''. ''I know it's far-fetched and a lot to ask for but I really would appreciate any help.''.
Begging TikTok users for their money online, Laura, who posts under the username @bigbirch01, also wondered if there were any more benefits she's not aware of but could be entitled to. ''You just have to do what you have to do to survive - and I'm just trying to survive here in this world, mad world.''.
