Give to someone in need

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.
A is an unemployed prison leaver who we are helping to find work. He is very employable and keen to work, but online coverage of his serious offence makes it difficult to secure and keep a job, when people google him. We have agreed that the best way forward is for A to change his name. After changing his name via deed poll, he needs a passport in his new name in order to be able to leave his old name behind and move forward. Due to being unemployed, A is unable to afford this himself. Please could you help?
