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.

K, who is single and living with muscular dystrophy and type 1 diabetes, was self-employed until his health prevented him from working full-time. He is now in receipt of benefits and works part-time when his health conditions allow him to. K's diabetes medication needs to be kept refrigerated and, as his fridge has recently stopped working, he has nowhere to safely store his medication. K manages his income carefully and has no debts, but cannot afford a replacement fridge freezer.
Still £60 left to donate
Total needed £190D, who is cohabiting, living with 3 dependent children, currently claiming Universal Credit, Child Benefit and Child DLA. Due to the cost of living, they have been struggling to afford the basics with extra needs of their disabled daughter, and the family needs help with new clothes and new bedding for her. Due to a skin condition, she cannot sleep because of the irritation this is causing. They also need somewhere to store clothes so dust doesn't get on them, which is causing more irritation.
