For twelve years the neighborhood has asked for a playground. This year a group of 24 volunteers, including local mothers, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for the Maple health centre yard, but no funding. We have received donated tools, and the remaining cost is $1,400. It will serve about 428 people, including local farmers and market traders. We'll hold a build day in July 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 $1,400 goes: • Materials: $1,150 • Permits and inspections: $35 • Safety equipment and signage: $110 • Tools hire and delivery: $105 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it. - Alyona

Updates from Alyona

  1. Quick update: $516 raised so far (37%). I made the first payment toward safety equipment and signage. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.

  2. Small update. $332 so far, I made the first payment toward safety equipment and signage.

  3. Good news. Because of your gifts ($262 in total) I met with the suppliers and confirmed the amounts. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
