For five years the neighborhood has asked for a sensory garden for children with autism. This year a group of 28 volunteers, including a retired civil engineer, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for Maple Primary School, but no funding. We have received donated a pump, and the remaining cost is $1,000. It will serve about 95 people, including local farmers and market traders. We'll hold a build day in November 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 $1,000 goes: • Materials: $690 • Permits and inspections: $50 • Safety equipment and signage: $120 • Tools hire and delivery: $140 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

    hope things get better soon, Adriana. Your post was clear and honest. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. God bless.

    • Viraj Pradeep Liyanage

      Thinking of you and your family. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Thinking of Mérida

      • Hải Trinh

        Thinking of you, Adriana. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. After 7 years in farming I know how hard it is to ask for anything. Take care.

        • Sajib Alamin Pramanik

          This could happen to any of us. My neighbor in Fresno donated after I showed her your page.

          • Agus Iwan Sutanto

            Stay strong. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Sent it to 25 people at work. All the best.

            • Emma Sarah Graf

              Keep going, Adriana. This could happen to any of us. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double.
