A sensory garden for children with autism: a volunteer-led effort in Saint-Étienne

We have the land, the volunteers and the plan for a sensory garden for children with autism - we need $2,150 for materials.

Saint-Étienne
For ten years the neighborhood has asked for a sensory garden for children with autism. This year a group of 15 volunteers, including a group of teenagers, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for Freedom Primary School, but no funding. We have received donated tools, and the remaining cost is $2,150. It will serve about 487 people, including school children and their families. We'll hold a build day in February 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 $2,150 goes: • Materials: $1,550 • Permits and inspections: $75 • Safety equipment and signage: $140 • Tools hire and delivery: $385 With deep gratitude, Emma
