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?

H is a young mum with a disabled child that she cares for. The home she lives in has no flooring down at all and H is struggling financially. She has no savings, as her only income is from benefits, and without our help she would never be able to afford to carpet her home. H's house is really cold and damp, and feels unsafe for her child. Carpets down would transform her house into a home. We have an offer of free carpets, but would appreciate your help with the fitting charge.
Still £200 left to donate
Total needed £200B is a single parent who had been living in a women's refuge with her children, after fleeing domestic violence. She isn't working, has no savings and her only income is Universal Credit. B entered the refuge with only the clothes on her back, and is now rebuilding her life. She has been granted a property with a local social landlord, but there are no floor coverings down. B has been given free carpets, but help with the fitting cost would be a dream come true for her and truly allow her to begin again.
Still £200 left to donate
Total needed £200R is a single mum who is working full-time, but struggling to make ends meet. Her rent is high and so are her energy bills. Mum has no carpets down and this is pushing up her heating costs unnecessarily. Due to her low income and lack of savings, she can't afford carpets. Carpets down, that we can supply free of charge, would be huge for R. If you can help with fitting costs, that would just amazing.
