A repair café workshop for the Maple community hall: help our neighbors in Denver
A community-led a repair café workshop at the Maple community hall that will serve 145 neighbors.
🇺🇸 Denver, Colorado, United States1,587 views
For eight years the neighborhood has asked for a repair café workshop. This year a group of 30 volunteers, including a group of teenagers, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for the Maple community hall, but no funding.
We have received donated a pump, and the remaining cost is $2,200.
It will serve about 145 people, including elderly neighbors living alone. We'll hold a build day in April 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 $2,200 goes:
• Tools hire and delivery: $480
• Permits and inspections: $135
• Materials: $1,585
With deep gratitude,
Tomás

Hang in there, Tomás. Looking forward to the next update. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day.
is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Tomás.
It's all in the list in the story. tools hire and delivery is the big one at $480, I'll post a receipt when it's paid. Let me know if you want more detail.
Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Don't give up. Thinking of Denver.
rooting for you, Tomás. Shared this with my family. My neighbor in Medan donated after I showed her your page. Greetings from Medan.
Wishing you the best. Great idea, hope you get there. I'll check back for the next update. All the best.
Best of luck. Shared it with a few friends. Sent it to 3 people at work. All the best
More neighborhoods should do this. I went through something like this 10 years ago and strangers helped me out. God bless!
Wishing you the best, Tomás. More neighborhoods should do this.
