A campaign has been launched to get a Salford mum - who fell seriously ill on the same night as the Manchester Arena attack - a wheelchair accessible car.

41-year old Jacqueline Grahams became acutely unwell on 22nd May 2017 and following a series of heart attacks & stroke, she has been left paralysed from the chest down.

Jackie has been separated from her 7 year old daughter Matia for over 18 months now due hospitalisation and is temporarily in a care home as she is unable to return home due to it not being wheelchair accessible.

She's currently waiting to be rehoused by the council into an accessible property.

The community in Salford are rallying round to raise money to buy her a wheelchair accessible car to give Jackie, her partner Scott and her family greater independence and the opportunity for Jackie to take her daughter to school, shopping and day trips.

Jacqueline and her partner Scott has been telling Hits Radio their story:
