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 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.

Without a cooker, she has no way of cooking healthy meals for herself, her children and her mother, so would very much appreciate any support you can give to purchase a replacement. Thank you.
