Kate Winslet donated £17,000 ($20,100) to a family facing soaring energy bills, BBC News reported.
Carolynne Hunter said the cash will cover the cost of her disabled daughter's life support equipment.
The family's annual energy bill is already about £6,500, which covers the cost of Freya's life support, as well as heating their home.
After reading about the Hunters' struggle online, Winslet and her family donated £17,000 to their GoFundMe and contacted the family to wish them well.
"We're still freezing and we're not even at minus temperatures yet," said Carolynne Hunter, per BBC Scotland.
