Mommys Little Helper The Heartrending True Story Of A Young Girl Secretly Caring For Her Severely Disabled Mother

Ten-year-old Abigail's mother Sarah has been rushed into hospital. Sarah has multiple sclerosis (MS) and has had a terrible fall. MS is a crippling disease, and progressively debilitating, and Sarah is now in a very bad way. Abigail has never known her father; she and her mother have coped alone since she was three. From being little more than a toddler Abigail has single-handedly cared for her, gradually learning to shop, cook and clean, and attend to her mother's personal care. Suddenly this has all come to the attention of social services and Abigail has nowhere to go.
