La Plata

For twelve years the neighborhood has asked for a sensory garden for children with autism. This year a group of 26 volunteers, including a retired civil engineer, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for Freedom Park, but no funding. We have received donated volunteer hours worth about $370, and the remaining cost is $750. It will serve about 198 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. All purchases will be made by two volunteers and logged publicly. Surplus funds will go to maintenance. Where the $750 goes: • Materials: $580 • Safety equipment and signage: $75 • Permits and inspections: $95 Thank you so much.
