A MUM has asked strangers online to help pay for her family’s summer vacation this year.
Zoe, from the UK, took to social media to ask others to help fund her getaway – without taking any money from them.

The mum-of-two explained that she had been on TikTok for more than three years and was part of a creator fund, whereby the social media app pays creators of popular videos.
Zoe revealed exactly why she asked strangers to help her come up with extra cash.
“My plan is actually to use TikTok to pay for a family vacation this year,” she explained.
“I’m not really talking about the Maldives, I don’t want anything fancy.

“I’m talking about Butlin’s. Ha!
“I just want to take the girls to Butlin’s.”
Zoe wanted to earn a total of £600 to pay for a holiday using the creative fund, so she made a minute-long video of herself cleaning her kitchen.
TikTok bosses say: “The amount each creator can earn is determined by a combination of factors – including the number of views and the authenticity of those views, the level of engagement with the content, as well as ensuring that the content complies with our Community Guidelines and Terms of Service.
“No two creators or videos are the same, and there’s no limit to the different types of content we’ll support from the fund.
“The total creator pool varies daily and depends on the amount of videos our community has posted that day – so it will vary based on the amount of content posted.”

The clip, posted on her TikTok account @journeytoabetterzo, has since gone viral with more than three million views and 500k likes.
People quickly gathered behind mom.
One person wrote: “I hope you get to Butlin’s!!!”
Another commented: “You’re going to Butlin’s!!”
“I’m commenting to get you and your girls to Butlin’s,” wrote a third.
Meanwhile a fourth said: “Take your girls to Butlin’s mum! I wish you all the best.”
“YASSSSSS ID BUTLIN’S,” said a fifth.
And it seemed that mom’s cry for help finally paid off as she now earned enough to take her family away for the summer.
Someone added: “Hi, how are you and your girls doing so far.”
“We made a reservation,” Zoe replied.
