Saket
For twelve years the neighborhood has asked for a sensory garden for children with autism. This year a group of 12 volunteers, including two retired carpenters, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for the old Sycamore bus depot, but no funding. We have received donated timber, and the remaining cost is $500. It will serve about 363 people, including school children and their families. We'll hold a build day in September 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: $400 • Permits and inspections: $25 • Safety equipment and signage: $40 • Tools hire and delivery: $35 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to. - Kunal

      You're not alone. Projects like this are what make a place worth living in. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Blessings.
