For twelve years the neighborhood has asked for a sensory garden for children with autism. This year a group of 29 volunteers, including the parish youth group, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for the Freedom vacant lot, but no funding.
We have received donated timber, and the remaining cost is $300.
It will serve about 175 people, including elderly neighbors living alone. 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.
All purchases will be made by two volunteers and logged publicly. Surplus funds will go to maintenance.
Where the $300 goes:
• Tools hire and delivery: $45
• Permits and inspections: $55
• Materials: $200
Glad we found this place.

Is there anything that isn't money that would help Sudip?
Great idea, hope you get there. My neighbor had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Blessings
Hope it all works out, Sudip. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier.
Hope you get there. I went through something like this 7 years ago and strangers helped me out. Thinking of Biratnagar.
Thinking of you and your family, Sudip. I hope things turn around soon. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day.
You're not alone. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Sent it to 28 people at work. Greetings from Calgary.
