A covered market stall space: a volunteer-led effort in Fortaleza
We have the land, the volunteers and the plan for a covered market stall space - we need $1,300 for materials.

For eight years the neighborhood has asked for a covered market stall space. This year a group of 16 volunteers, including the neighborhood football club, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for Sycamore Park, but no funding.
We have received donated volunteer hours worth about $430, and the remaining cost is $1,300.
It will serve about 176 people, including school children and their families. We'll hold a build day in April 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 $1,300 goes:
• Materials: $850
• Permits and inspections: $115
• Safety equipment and signage: $140
• Tools hire and delivery: $195
If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

Sending strength, Lúcia. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Blessings.
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Lúcia.
Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. materials comes first ($850) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. Thanks, that means a lot.
You're not alone, Lúcia. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I'm in nursing myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you.
Best of luck. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I'll check back for the next update.
