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.
J, a single mum to three lovely children, has just been housed after sixteen months of constant moving from various temporary properties. Now that she has been housed, the entire property was empty and she is struggling to furnish her new home. So by giving towards a television, microwave and rugs, you will help towards a family having a home with some basic comforts before Christmas.
Still £150 left to donate
Total needed £200EA is thirty one year old mum to a two year old boy. They have spent several months in emergency accommodation as a result of domestic violence and financial abuse. They have been rehoused this week in a remote location, but have no washing machine, having to move in with crisis and care essentials and just their personal effects. EA is engaging well with all support, but struggling financially with childcare/nursery costs and general budgeting. Any help with a replacement washing machine would ease the stress of laundry days and allow her to feel normal again.
Still £200 left to donate
Total needed £200J, a six year old girl, has severe allergies and now has to carry an EpiPen. One of her allergies is to dust mites and this means she does not sleep well. Her parents have made lots of changes to her bedroom to minimise her exposure to dust, but her single mattress is very old and a new mattress is beyond their reach. It will, however, make a big difference to J, enabling her to sleep better. Thank you for your help.
