A rainwater harvesting system for the old Freedom bus depot: help our neighbors in Seville

We have the land, the volunteers and the plan for a rainwater harvesting system - we need $1,250 for materials.

Seville
For twelve years the neighborhood has asked for a rainwater harvesting system. This year a group of 28 volunteers, including the parish youth group, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for the old Freedom bus depot, but no funding. We have received donated a pump, and the remaining cost is $1,250. It will serve about 342 people, including school children and their families. We'll hold a build day in October 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 $1,250 goes: • Tools hire and delivery: $400 • Safety equipment and signage: $105 • Materials: $745 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

        Sending good thoughts. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I went through something like this 3 years ago and strangers helped me out. Take care.
