A covered market stall space: a volunteer-led effort in Yekaterinburg
A community-led a covered market stall space at the Pioneer community hall that will serve 557 neighbors.
🇷🇺 Yekaterinburg, Sverdlovsk Oblast, Russia860 views
For five years the neighborhood has asked for a covered market stall space. This year a group of 10 volunteers, including a retired civil engineer, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for the Pioneer community hall, but no funding.
We have received donated volunteer hours worth about $430, and the remaining cost is $300.
It will serve about 557 people, including local farmers and market traders. We'll hold a build day in March 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 $300 goes:
• Tools hire and delivery: $145
• Permits and inspections: $50
• Safety equipment and signage: $105
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

sending strength, Anton. Hope you get there. Don't give up
Praying for you, Anton. It takes guts to ask. Well done. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust
best of luck, Anton. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I went through something like this 12 years ago and strangers helped me out. All the best.
Praying for you, Anton. Your post was clear and honest. God bless
Thinking of you and your family, Anton. I hope things turn around soon. Love from Santa Rosa.
