Rome
For five years the neighborhood has asked for a rainwater harvesting system. This year a group of 18 volunteers, including local mothers, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for Pioneer Park, but no funding. We have received donated tools, and the remaining cost is $700. It will serve about 272 people, including elderly neighbors living alone. We'll hold a build day in March 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 $700 goes: โ€ข Tools hire and delivery: $310 โ€ข Permits and inspections: $105 โ€ข Safety equipment and signage: $285 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.
