Oaxaca de Juárez
For five years the neighborhood has asked for a sensory garden for children with autism. This year a group of 14 volunteers, including local mothers, 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 $800. It will serve about 519 people, including children, seniors and people with disabilities. We'll hold a build day in December 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 $800 goes: • Tools hire and delivery: $55 • Permits and inspections: $70 • Materials: $675 Thank you for reading my story. - Lourdes

        It takes guts to ask. Well done. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Love from Yogyakarta

          Great idea, hope you get there. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Thinking of Oaxaca de Juárez.
