For three years the neighborhood has asked for a sensory garden for children with autism. This year a group of 20 volunteers, including the parish youth group, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for the Freedom health centre yard, but no funding.
We have received donated volunteer hours worth about $80, and the remaining cost is $500.
It will serve about 572 people, including young people who have nowhere safe to play. We'll hold a build day in June 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 $500 goes:
• Materials: $370
• Permits and inspections: $15
• Safety equipment and signage: $50
• Tools hire and delivery: $65
Thank you so much.

Wishing you the best. More neighborhoods should do this. My neighbor in Arlington donated after I showed her your page. Love from Arlington.
Keep going, Kingsley. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I'll check back for the next update
Hope this works out for you. After 13 years in customer support I know how hard it's to ask for anything. All the best
