A playground for Acacia Park: help our neighbors in Moscow

Volunteers in Moscow are raising $950 for a playground at Acacia Park.

For twelve years the neighborhood has asked for a playground. This year a group of 23 volunteers, including two retired carpenters, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for Acacia Park, but no funding. We have received donated a pump, and the remaining cost is $950. It will serve about 515 people, including young people who have nowhere safe to play. We'll hold a build day in June 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 $950 goes: • Safety equipment and signage: $75 • Materials: $760 • Permits and inspections: $115 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

    How is Zoya doing now?

    • Teresa R. Ochoa

      Keep going, Zoya. Hope you get there. After 25 years in nursing I know how hard it's to ask for anything. God bless

      • Heloísa Beatriz CunhaQuestion

        Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Zoya.

        • Zoya StepanovOwnerAnswer

          Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. safety equipment and signage comes first ($75) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. Happy to explain more.

      • Mercedes B. Estrada

        Thanks for sharing this, Zoya. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I hope June is when things finally get easier.

        • Okello Kimani Kipchoge

          So sorry you're going through this, Zoya. Hope the build day goes well, wish I lived closer. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected

          • Mim Nargis Rashid

            Best of luck, Zoya. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My neighbor in Ciudad de México donated after I showed her your page.

            • Amelia B. Shaw

              Praying for you, Zoya. Hope this works out for you.
