A repair café workshop for the old Lotus bus depot: help our neighbors in Kharkiv

For five years the neighborhood has asked for a repair café workshop. This year a group of 18 volunteers, including a group of teenagers, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for the old Lotus bus depot, but no funding. We have received donated volunteer hours worth about $280, and the remaining cost is $300. It will serve about 363 people, including young people who have nowhere safe to play. 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. All purchases will be made by two volunteers and logged publicly. Surplus funds will go to maintenance. Where the $300 goes: • Materials: $220 • Permits and inspections: $25 • Safety equipment and signage: $25 • Tools hire and delivery: $30 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure. - Andriy
