39-year-old Tom Shaw, a British man, lost his job 10 years ago and now lives with his wife, Stacey, and their family in an eight-bedroom house in Nottinghamshire, England. According to current UK welfare policies, their family receives a total of £70,000 (approximately 666,000 RMB) annually from various welfare programs including child tax credits, family allowances, disability benefits, and housing benefits.
Among the 14 children, one boy has attention deficit disorder, and another boy has adrenal disease. To take care of the children, Tom had to give up work, using a cargo van to transport the children to and from school and preparing meals for them.
In his spare time, Tom also participates in volunteer projects, fulfilling his obligations as a beneficiary. He hopes to work in an orphanage after raising all his children to give back to society. Their 19-year-old daughter, Shannon, is a single mother and has already moved out to live independently. They believe that the purpose of state welfare is to support the most vulnerable groups in society, not to assist those who are long-term unemployed and deliberately claim benefits.
