A playground for Liberty Primary School: help our neighbors in Dundee

A community-led a playground at Liberty Primary School that will serve 443 neighbors.

For eight years the neighborhood has asked for a playground. This year a group of 28 volunteers, including a group of teenagers, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for Liberty Primary School, but no funding. We have received donated paint, and the remaining cost is $2,650. It will serve about 443 people, including school children and their families. We'll hold a build day in October 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 $2,650 goes: • Materials: $1,850 • Permits and inspections: $250 • Safety equipment and signage: $170 • Tools hire and delivery: $380 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

    Thinking of you, Angel. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. All the best!

                  Wishing you peace. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Thinking of Dundee!
