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.
A is an asylum seeker from Pakistan who felt that she had to leave her home country as she was receiving death threats from family members. This is because she did not want to be forced into marriage, but wanted to have a career of her own. A does not have any clothes or shoes suitable for a British winter, and we would like to buy her a coat, a pair of shoes, a pair of jeans, some leggings and some underwear.
Still £105 left to donate
Total needed £160Z is an asylum seeker from Iran who is accompanied by her husband and two daughters, aged ten and two. They fled Iran because they had converted from Islam to Christianity and their lives had been threatened. The whole family needs winter clothes, winter shoes and underwear. They would also like some toys for their daughters as they are struggling with the transition to life in Home Office accommodation.
Still £160 left to donate
Total needed £180E has just moved into supported accommodation after being homeless for two years. He has arrived there in the clothes that he is standing in and this is causing him distress as he is currently borrowing clothes while he is washing his own tracksuit. We are asking for support to purchase clothes and shoes for E.
