A repair café workshop for the old Liberty bus depot: help our neighbors in Manila

For eight years the neighborhood has asked for a repair café workshop. This year a group of 19 volunteers, including two retired carpenters, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for the old Liberty bus depot, but no funding. We have received donated a pump, and the remaining cost is $650. It will serve about 214 people, including elderly neighbors living alone. 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. Funds are spent only on materials, permits and safety equipment; all labor is volunteered. Where the $650 goes: • Materials: $510 • Permits and inspections: $15 • Safety equipment and signage: $30 • Tools hire and delivery: $95 Thanks for being kind about this.
