Barcelona

For ten years the neighborhood has asked for a solar-powered water pump. This year a group of 25 volunteers, including the parish youth group, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for the Liberty health centre yard, but no funding. We have received donated paint, and the remaining cost is $1,600. It will serve about 247 people, including children, seniors and people with disabilities. We'll hold a build day in July 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 $1,600 goes: • Permits and inspections: $260 • Materials: $1,150 • Safety equipment and signage: $190 Thank you for reading my story. - Luis

Good luck, Luis. Your post was clear and honest. I went through something like this 5 years ago and strangers helped me out. Blessings.
