A repair café workshop for the Harmony vacant lot: help our neighbors in Santa Fe
We have the land, the volunteers and the plan for a repair café workshop - we need $3,150 for materials.

For eight years the neighborhood has asked for a repair café workshop. This year a group of 8 volunteers, including the parish youth group, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for the Harmony vacant lot, but no funding.
We have received donated timber, and the remaining cost is $3,150.
It will serve about 120 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 $3,150 goes:
• Materials: $2,150
• Permits and inspections: $250
• Safety equipment and signage: $310
• Tools hire and delivery: $440
If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

Wanted to say thank you properly. 23% funded and the plan for safety equipment and signage is now scheduled.

You're not alone, Liliana. Hope this works out for you. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Blessings
Sending strength. More neighborhoods should do this. Please keep us posted. Love from Kano
a colleague of mine might know someone for this in New Mexico. I'll ask around and let you know.
can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Santa Fe
Thank you. If you're in Santa Fe I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great.
Stay strong, Liliana. Projects like this are what make a place worth living in.
So sorry you're going through this, Liliana. Projects like this are what make a place worth living in.
Take care, Liliana. This could happen to any of us. I'm in accounting myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Greetings from Baton Rouge.
