🇹🇷 İzmir, İzmir, Türkiye733 views
For five years the neighborhood has asked for a community fridge. This year a group of 18 volunteers, including the parish youth group, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for Lotus Park, but no funding.
We have received donated volunteer hours worth about $300, and the remaining cost is $600.
It will serve about 331 people, including children, seniors and people with disabilities. We'll hold a build day in October and everyone is invited.
We're a small team, and every dollar will be spent in the open - I'll post receipts and progress photos.
Funds are spent only on materials, permits and safety equipment; all labor is volunteered.
Where the $600 goes:
• Materials: $330
• Permits and inspections: $70
• Safety equipment and signage: $75
• Tools hire and delivery: $125
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Hope it all works out, Gizem. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Blessings.
hang in there. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Greetings from Accra.
