For three years the neighborhood has asked for a sensory garden for children with autism. This year a group of 18 volunteers, including the parish youth group, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for the Sycamore vacant lot, but no funding.
We have received donated paint, and the remaining cost is $4,400.
It will serve about 400 people, including local farmers and market traders. 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 $4,400 goes:
• Materials: $3,800
• Permits and inspections: $115
• Safety equipment and signage: $485
Thanks for reading all this.

sending good thoughts, Beth. Shared it with a few friends. Don't be hard on yourself for asking
thinking of you, Beth. Your post was clear and honest. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. All the best.
your post was clear and honest. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Blessings
You're not alone, Beth. Shared it with a few friends. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money
