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.
T 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 £150N, 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.

Total needed £200M and her partner, who have an eight month old daughter, are both at university. Their child still sleeps in a crib, which is now too small, and she often tries to climb out of it. She could sleep in a travel cot for safety, but this can only be short term. This child desperately needs a cot and mattress. Her bedroom is near the stairs and, as she is now crawling, stairgates at the top and bottom are essential to keep her safe. Mum and dad work part-time and, therefore, have no spare money to buy these items. Thank you.

Total needed £200J has fled domestic abuse from the baby's father and is currently in a safe house after being physically assaulted several times, and damage being caused to possessions. She has a lack of funds until her benefits are amended into her sole name, and desperately needs items for her six month old son and toiletries for herself. Father is on bail, but keeps breaking the bail conditions so she also has the fear that he will find her. The police an social worker are in assistance.
