Energy bills: 'It costs £776 a month to keep our children alive'

"It's all about keeping the children at home... we don't know what to do."

Pam and Mark Gleave, from Amlwch, on Anglesey, have three adopted children, who all depend on constant life support.

But the couple say they can't cope with increasing energy bills.

They fear if they can't get help to meet the soaring running costs of the medical equipment, the girls may need to go to hospital for care.

But Pam says she'd rather sell the family home than see her girls being forced into hospital.

Katie, 19, and Kelly, 14, have PEHO syndrome - a rare and degenerative neurological condition which means they cannot walk, talk, and need constant care.
