We have the land, the volunteers and the plan for a sensory garden for children with autism - we need $600 for materials.

For three years the neighborhood has asked for a sensory garden for children with autism. This year a group of 21 volunteers, including the neighborhood football club, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for the Maple vacant lot, but no funding. We have received donated timber, and the remaining cost is $600. It will serve about 477 people, including children, seniors and people with disabilities. 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 $600 goes: • Materials: $510 • Permits and inspections: $25 • Safety equipment and signage: $40 • Tools hire and delivery: $25 If you're reading this, thank you. - Dhanush
