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.
This single mother, who has a one year old baby, has been homeless, but has now been given social housing. Another charity has given her basic furniture and other necessary items. Mum still needs a washing machine. She is so grateful for this new start in life and for her little baby, wants to be a good mother and, with her own home, feels that she can. A washing machine would be great for her as she does try to wash clothes and laundry by hand. The drying of them is hard as they drip everywhere.
Still £155 left to donate
Total needed £170This gentleman, who is disabled, is a carer for his son. His health has recently deteriorated, both physically and mentally, and he has had numerous problems to overcome. When his cooker unexpectantly broke down, he was at his wit's end as he did not have the money to replace it and it was so old that it could not be fixed. A new cooker would make the world of difference to father and son, enabling them to get back on track and maintain their self-sufficiency. Can you help him please?
Still £200 left to donate
Total needed £200R is a single lady who was in an abusive relationship for years and recently escaped with only the clothes she was wearing. She was rough sleeping initially, but now has been allocated a small room in a communal house. R has no furniture and her room is too small for a single bed so she has been sleeping on the floor for a few weeks. She would really appreciate a single futon to sit and sleep on, as well as some bedding. R has not yet received any benefits and has no savings, so has no money.
