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.
E is a single gentleman who is living alone with different chronic illnesses. He has recently moved out of his temporary accommodation into a permanent address. E is very grateful for the support that has been provided, but still doesn't have a cooker and a washing machine in the house. This is limiting E in making homemade meals, which is a requirement, as he is required to eat healthy, due to his health conditions. Your support will be highly appreciated.
