Coventry
For twelve years the neighborhood has asked for a free library and reading room. This year a group of 15 volunteers, including the parish youth group, 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 $300, and the remaining cost is $1,700. It will serve about 404 people, including young people who have nowhere safe to play. We'll hold a build day in December 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 $1,700 goes: • Materials: $890 • Permits and inspections: $290 • Safety equipment and signage: $240 • Tools hire and delivery: $280 I hope life is good to you.

    take care, Amber. Your post was clear and honest. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Thinking of Coventry.

    • Annelies Dekker

      hope things get better soon, Amber. Great idea, hope you get there. My father had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Greetings from Tamale.

        Keep going, Amber. Hope you get there. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Take care.

        • Lucas H. Fernandez

          Sending strength, Amber. Projects like this are what make a place worth living in. I have a 10 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Blessings.

            Keep going, Amber. Hope you get there. Wish I lived closer to Coyoacán so I could bring a meal.
