🇲🇽 04042, Coyoacán, Ciudad de México, Mexico1,293 views
For eight years the neighborhood has asked for a covered market stall space. This year a group of 25 volunteers, including local mothers, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for the Harmony community hall, but no funding.
We have received donated tools, and the remaining cost is $1,000.
It will serve about 343 people, including school children and their families. We'll hold a build day in June 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 $1,000 goes:
• Tools hire and delivery: $135
• Materials: $740
• Permits and inspections: $125

Best of luck, Antonio. Hope this works out for you. After 21 years in retail I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Greetings from Winnipeg.
you're not alone. Shared this with my family. Greetings from San Diego
Sending strength. More neighborhoods should do this. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend
thanks for sharing this, Antonio. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Love from Mumbai.
Thanks for sharing this. Hope you get there. Love from Madina.
So sorry you're going through this. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Thinking of Coyoacán.
Best of luck. Your post was clear and honest. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like.
