A covered market stall space for Lotus Primary School: help our neighbors in San Francisco
Volunteers in San Francisco are raising $4,150 for a covered market stall space at Lotus Primary School.
Anywhere in the world2,883 views
For ten years the neighborhood has asked for a covered market stall space. This year a group of 27 volunteers, including local mothers, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for Lotus Primary School, but no funding.
We have received donated a pump, and the remaining cost is $4,150.
It will serve about 91 people, including school children and their families. 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 $4,150 goes:
• Materials: $3,100
• Permits and inspections: $250
• Safety equipment and signage: $410
• Tools hire and delivery: $390
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Thinking of you, Sarah. Your post was clear and honest. Don't be hard on yourself for asking.
How is Sarah doing now?
Sending good thoughts. More neighborhoods should do this. Greetings from Sylhet.
Can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near San Francisco
Thank you. If you're in San Francisco I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. It helps to be asked.
Sending love, Sarah. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Wish I lived closer to Hamburg so I could bring a meal. Take care.
Wishing you peace, Sarah. More neighborhoods should do this
Thinking of you. Hope this works out for you. Take care!
Wishing you peace, Sarah. Looking forward to the next update. I have a 14 year old who wants to send good wishes too
