A covered market stall space: a volunteer-led effort in Stockholm
We have the land, the volunteers and the plan for a covered market stall space - we need $2,850 for materials.
🇸🇪 Sweden641 views
For five years the neighborhood has asked for a covered market stall space. This year a group of 26 volunteers, including a group of teenagers, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for Maple Park, but no funding.
We have received donated a pump, and the remaining cost is $2,850.
It will serve about 368 people, including elderly neighbors living alone. 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.
Funds are spent only on materials, permits and safety equipment; all labor is volunteered.
Where the $2,850 goes:
• Safety equipment and signage: $210
• Materials: $2,300
• Permits and inspections: $340
Thanks for being kind about this.

wishing you the best, Leif. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Sent it to 19 people at work.
You're not alone, Leif. I hope things turn around soon. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too.
good luck, Leif. Your post was clear and honest.
