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.

Total needed £200T is struggling financially and physically. Unfortunately, when delivering her son, the epidural went wrong six times so she now has a lot of back pain. T does not know if she can go back to work part-time after maternity leave, as it's too excruciating to stand for lengths of time. She is having trouble lifting a stroller that was gifted to her, as it is heavy and her physio has recommended getting a lightweight stroller. All the second-hand strollers that have been seen are all heavy or the wheels are bowed. T's son is also desperately in need of a cot, as he has outgrown the Moses basket earlier than expected.

Total needed £150T and her husband are working with Christians Against Poverty to sort their debts. They are both in work and making great steps with the repayment plan, but this month T has had Covid and can't work, and her husband has an injury and can't do his physical job. Their income has taken a dive, as a result, and they are struggling to live on their budget. We would love to help them with money towards household bills, and some extra food items. Thank you.

Total needed £125N, a teenage mum-to-be with a baby due in October, is currently living with her parents and siblings, but will be living independently in supported accommodation once the baby is born. The father of the baby has absconded so N has only her family's support, but they are on low wages and are struggling financially so cannot purchase essential items for the baby. N currently has no income, due to her age, and is desperate to get a travel system for the baby so that she is not isolated at home.
