A community garden for the Pioneer health centre yard: help our neighbors in Madrid
We have the land, the volunteers and the plan for a community garden - we need $500 for materials.

For twelve years the neighborhood has asked for a community garden. This year a group of 23 volunteers, including two retired carpenters, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for the Pioneer health centre yard, but no funding.
We have received donated timber, and the remaining cost is $500.
It will serve about 351 people, including children, seniors and people with disabilities. We'll hold a build day in November 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.
All purchases will be made by two volunteers and logged publicly. Surplus funds will go to maintenance.
Where the $500 goes:
• Safety equipment and signage: $230
• Tools hire and delivery: $100
• Permits and inspections: $170
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

projects like this are what make a place worth living in. I'm in farming myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Blessings.
so sorry you're going through this. Hope you get there. After 19 years in logistics I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Thinking of Madrid.
you're not alone, Bruno. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Thinking of Madrid
Sending strength, Bruno. More neighborhoods should do this. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected.
Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My colleague had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Love from London.
Sending good thoughts, Bruno. Hope this works out for you.
Thinking of you. This could happen to any of us. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Take care
Sending love, Bruno. I hope things turn around soon. Take care.
This could happen to any of us. Greetings from Busan
Praying for you. Looking forward to the next update. We're a small family in Nagpur but we're thinking of you. Love from Nagpur.
This could happen to any of us. I went through something like this 2 years ago and strangers helped me out. Thinking of Madrid
stay strong, Bruno. It takes guts to ask. Well done.
Hope it all works out, Bruno. Hope the build day goes well, wish I lived closer
