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.
After fleeing domestic violence, A has been housed and is in need of a microwave oven as, at present, she only has a camp oven to cook on. Her teenage children also love to cook. The kitchen in the house is waiting for repairs and a microwave could be used in the living room, as it is portable. A is waiting for her benefits to be processed and cannot afford this item. The stress of everything is really showing as this family try to start a new life. Please can you help?
Still £100 left to donate
Total needed £100V, who has fled domestic violence and is expecting her seventh child, has been rehoused. She has managed to get most household items from charity shops and other charities, but has no income spare to buy a carry cot pram that converts into a pushchair, with a rain cover, as she is waiting for her benefits to be processed. This pregnancy was a shock; V thought she was sick because of all the stress and upheaval of being rehoused. She is very house proud and suffering from stress, due to the situation.
Still £200 left to donate
Total needed £200L has recently escaped a domestic abuse marriage where she amassed debts as a result of her husband's financial abuse. Mum and her daughter have been in a refuge for the past two years, but have finally found a home to move into, but have no money left and are still in debt. We are helping L with debts, and her family support worker has been able to find some help to furnish some of the house with white goods etc. L needs a bed for herself and a mattress for her daughter.
