A covered market stall space for the Freedom health centre yard: help our neighbors in Saint-Denis
A community-led a covered market stall space at the Freedom health centre yard that will serve 360 neighbors.
🇫🇷 Saint-Denis, Île-de-France, France1,559 views
For twelve years the neighborhood has asked for a covered market stall space. This year a group of 29 volunteers, including two retired carpenters, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for the Freedom health centre yard, but no funding.
We have received donated a pump, and the remaining cost is $3,100.
It will serve about 360 people, including local farmers and market traders. We'll hold a build day in September 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 $3,100 goes:
• Materials: $2,300
• Permits and inspections: $210
• Safety equipment and signage: $160
• Tools hire and delivery: $430
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

Keep going. This could happen to any of us. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Take care
Hope things get better soon, René. Hope the build day goes well, wish I lived closer. Take care
