A sensory garden for children with autism for the Liberty health centre yard: help our neighbors in Xalapa
We have the land, the volunteers and the plan for a sensory garden for children with autism - we need $700 for materials.

For ten years the neighborhood has asked for a sensory garden for children with autism. This year a group of 18 volunteers, including local mothers, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for the Liberty health centre yard, but no funding.
We have received donated soil and plants, and the remaining cost is $700.
It will serve about 589 people, including children, seniors and people with disabilities. We'll hold a build day in December 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 $700 goes:
• Materials: $360
• Permits and inspections: $30
• Safety equipment and signage: $160
• Tools hire and delivery: $150
Every share and every dollar helps.

good luck, Salvador. I hope things turn around soon.
sending love, Salvador. Your post was clear and honest. I have a 17 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Take care.
so sorry you're going through this. Hope the build day goes well, wish I lived closer. Greetings from Johannesburg.
Thinking of you and your family. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Thinking of Xalapa
can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Xalapa.
Thank you. If you're in Xalapa I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great.
rooting for you, Salvador. This could happen to any of us. My husband and I read this together. Thinking of Xalapa
Shared it with a few friends. Sent it to 30 people at work. Love from Fresno.
Sending love. More neighborhoods should do this. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Thinking of Xalapa.
Thinking of you, Salvador. This could happen to any of us. After 11 years in public service I know how hard it is to ask for anything.
hope the build day goes well, wish I lived closer. I went through something like this 14 years ago and strangers helped me out!
