A playground for the Maple health centre yard: help our neighbors in San Jose
Volunteers in San Jose are raising $3,150 for a playground at the Maple health centre yard.
🇺🇸 California, United States2,874 views
For ten years the neighborhood has asked for a playground. This year a group of 20 volunteers, including the parish youth group, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for the Maple health centre yard, but no funding.
We have received donated soil and plants, and the remaining cost is $3,150.
It will serve about 413 people, including local farmers and market traders. We'll hold a build day in September 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 $3,150 goes:
• Materials: $2,400
• Permits and inspections: $280
• Safety equipment and signage: $220
• Tools hire and delivery: $250
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Put this on a community board in Varanasi this morning.
Praying for you. Hope you get there. We're a small family in Manila but we're thinking of you. Greetings from Manila.
Thinking of you. Looking forward to the next update. I have a 14 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Greetings from Dwarka.
