A sensory garden for children with autism: a volunteer-led effort in Verona
Volunteers in Verona are raising $2,750 for a sensory garden for children with autism at Union Primary School.

For three years the neighborhood has asked for a sensory garden for children with autism. This year a group of 14 volunteers, including a group of teenagers, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for Union Primary School, but no funding.
We have received donated paint, and the remaining cost is $2,750.
It will serve about 240 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.
All purchases will be made by two volunteers and logged publicly. Surplus funds will go to maintenance.
Where the $2,750 goes:
• Materials: $2,250
• Permits and inspections: $210
• Safety equipment and signage: $95
• Tools hire and delivery: $195
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

Thinking of you and your family. Hope you get there. Greetings from Bandung.
Rooting for you, Gabriella. Shared it with a few friends. Thinking of Verona.
Praying for you, Gabriella. Projects like this are what make a place worth living in. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Thinking of Verona!
