A playground for the Liberty vacant lot: help our neighbors in Surat
A community-led a playground at the Liberty vacant lot that will serve 182 neighbors.

For three years the neighborhood has asked for a playground. This year a group of 23 volunteers, including the parish youth group, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for the Liberty vacant lot, but no funding.
We have received donated a pump, and the remaining cost is $400.
It will serve about 182 people, including elderly neighbors living alone. We'll hold a build day in February 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 $400 goes:
• Permits and inspections: $50
• Safety equipment and signage: $45
• Materials: $305
Thanks for being kind about this.

Shared this with my family. My husband and I read this together. Thinking of Surat.
Hope things get better soon, Suresh. Hope you get there. Greetings from Depok.
