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.
My client and his wife have been struggling for a while. They have two daughters with special needs and he is unable to work because of health issues. They have been working with Christians Against Poverty (CAP) and are getting a Debt Relief Order to give them a fresh start. My client is intending to do the CAP Money course to get some help with their budgeting. They currently need oil and it would really bless them to have some help with paying for this. Thank you.
