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?

Total needed £140This man recently lost his wife and is trying his best to bring up three children, aged eight, ten and twelve, alone. He suffers severely with his mental health and is agoraphobic. Their council property is very damp and this has ruined the beds and carpets. Some of the damp issues are now resolved and they need three single mattresses and a lounge carpet. Dad's income is Universal Credit and he is unable to afford these essential items himself. Please can you help improve life for this family? Thank you.

Total needed £200E is a single mum to two children under two years old, having been recently abandoned by the father of the children. Her cooker is very old and is irreparably broken so she desperately needs a new one to be able to provide meals for herself and the children. Mum is dependent on basic benefits and is using any spare money on transport to the local hospital, as her four month old baby requires frequent admissions. E is coping well, but anxious about not having a cooker. Any help would be gratefully received.

Total needed £200H, a divorced mother, and her two young sons have recently moved into a new home after being in temporary accommodation for a few months. The youngest son, who is seven years of age, has recently been very unwell and H has had to take time away from work to care for him. The home they have just moved into requires most of the basics in the kitchen that we take for granted, such as a kettle, toaster, bin, utensils and cutlery. If you can help, it will be greatly appreciated.
