New photo Barmaid, 22, launches GoFundMe page to ask STRANGERS to fund £400 Christmas trip to Canada

A barmaid who asked generous strangers to pay for her flight to Canada so she can surprise her mother who she hadn't seen for almost a year has already met her target.

Nicole Fennelly, 22, launched a GoFundMe page on Monday to raise £400 to pay for a return flight to visit her mother and two sisters in February - and she's already received £464.

Ms Fennelly and her family moved across the Atlantic from Liverpool in 2012, but she decided to move back home alone after the death of her grandmother in January.

Ten months on, the 22-year-old said she misses her mother and wants to fly to Canada to spend two weeks with her family.

Ms Fennelly has been working overtime in an attempt to afford the trip, but said she was struggling to get the money together for the flight.

The barmaid has pledged to refund all the money if she doesn't manage to book a flight.

She said: 'I was really depressed in Canada and always wanted to come back to Liverpool.

'And in January when my nan died I just felt like I needed to be back in my hometown.

'I did it all so fast, without thinking of the consequences, but I just really miss my mum and my two sisters and I want to see them for Christmas.'

Ms Fennelly hopes to travel across the Atlantic in February as she is unable to get time away from work in December.

She said her mother, who struggles with mental health issues, keeps asking her to 'come home for Christmas.'

'I am doing every night shift I can to save money but the prices go up this time of year so I want to try and book in the next few weeks,' Ms Fennelly said.

'I can't explain what it would mean to me to see her. Not seeing your mum for this long, is so difficult.'

Ms Fennelly said her mother cares for her younger sister who has a disability and 'deserves something nice to happen to her.'

She said: 'My mum is a hero. She doesn't know I am trying to get out there and she would literally sob if I managed to get over there. 

'I think if it was to happen I would message my stepdad and get his help with it to keep it a surprise.

'I've been thinking about how I would do it. She has no idea I am thinking about going out there.'

To achieve her kick-ass figure, Hayden – who plays cheerleader Claire Bennet in Heroes – follows the ‘quartering’ rule. She eats only a quarter of the food on her plate, then waits 20 minutes before deciding whether she needs to eat again.

Hayden says: “I don’t have a model’s body, but I’m not one of those crazy girls who thinks that they’re fat. I’m OK with what I have.”

Nicollette says: “I don’t like diets – I see it, I eat it! I believe in eating healthily with lots of protein, vegetables and carbs to give you energy.”

SATC star Kim swears by gym sessions with Russian kettle bells (traditional cast-iron weights) and the South Beach Diet to give her the body she wants. To avoid overeating, Kim has a radical diet trick – squirting lemon juice on her leftovers – so she won’t carry on picking.

Kim says: “I am no super-thin Hollywood actress. I am built for men who like women to look like women.”
