For eight years the neighborhood has asked for a rainwater harvesting system. This year a group of 28 volunteers, including the neighborhood football club, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for Freedom Park, but no funding.
We have received donated paint, and the remaining cost is $750.
It will serve about 137 people, including elderly neighbors living alone. We'll hold a build day in June 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 $750 goes:
• Materials: $540
• Permits and inspections: $45
• Safety equipment and signage: $105
• Tools hire and delivery: $60
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Souad
It's all in the list in the story. materials is the big one at $540, I'll post a receipt when it's paid. Thanks, that means a lot.
You're not alone, Souad. This could happen to any of us. All the best.
Hope things get better soon. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Greetings from Cape Town
hope you get there. My mother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Love from Quezon City.
