Volunteers in Embakasi are raising $200 for a sensory garden for children with autism at Liberty Park.

For twelve years the neighborhood has asked for a sensory garden for children with autism. This year a group of 18 volunteers, including a group of teenagers, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for Liberty Park, but no funding.
We have received donated a pump, and the remaining cost is $200.
It will serve about 259 people, including children, seniors and people with disabilities. 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.
Funds are spent only on materials, permits and safety equipment; all labor is volunteered.
Where the $200 goes:
• Permits and inspections: $50
• Tools hire and delivery: $85
• Safety equipment and signage: $65
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Looking forward to the next update. I hope October is when things finally get easier. Thinking of Embakasi.
This could happen to any of us. I'm in social work myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. All the best.
Best of luck, Samuel. I hope things turn around soon. Love from Abuja.
Wishing you peace, Samuel. This could happen to any of us. Put this on a community board in Parma this morning. Take care!
Sending good thoughts. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Greetings from Kisumu
Good luck. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected.
Hope things get better soon. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I'm in nursing myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Blessings
Rooting for you, Samuel. Gave what I could, wish it was more. It's not much but it's yours. Take care!
