Give to someone in need
Acts 435 is about giving to people directly, to help them bridge the gap when they are facing a financial crisis.
Can you help a specific person in need?
Read stories of the applicants below and give as you feel able. Any amount will make a big difference to someone who is struggling.
You can instead make a general donation and the Acts 435 team will allocate it to the most urgent requests.
N is 55 and a full time carer to her son who has complex needs; she is unable to work as she has to be with him at all times. Money is very tight in the house due to N having to constantly replace bedding and clothing for her son. Her fridge freezer has broken and N has spoken to me this morning and told me she is also broken and doesn't know where to turn. N has no family to turn to for support and she would be so thankful for any help as she cannot afford to shop daily for fresh food.
Still £200 left to donate
Total needed £200L, a single mum on low income, is in need of a baby’s buggy as the wheel has snapped of the current one and cannot be repaired. L had to sell some furniture and a little spare money she was saving for Christmas to pay the private landlord an increase in her rent, otherwise she would have had to move out, meaning she could not replace the buggy. L has backache, due to carrying the toddler and shopping bags as well. Family are unable to help, due to struggling themselves.
Still £100 left to donate
Total needed £100C is a lovely sixty year old lady whose mum sadly passed away recently. C was a carer for her mum and was with her all the time. As you can imagine, she is really struggling with her grief and cannot move forward. C only receives benefits and, once her bills have been paid, she does not have anything left. Her fridge freezer has stopped working and she has had to throw away what little food she had in it and has no money to replace it. Please could you help C? She would be so grateful.
