A solar-powered water pump for the Freedom community hall: help our neighbors in Lowell
A community-led a solar-powered water pump at the Freedom community hall that will serve 198 neighbors.
🇺🇸 United States800 views
For five years the neighborhood has asked for a solar-powered water pump. This year a group of 21 volunteers, including two retired carpenters, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for the Freedom community hall, but no funding.
We have received donated timber, and the remaining cost is $4,550.
It will serve about 198 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 $4,550 goes:
• Materials: $3,500
• Permits and inspections: $290
• Safety equipment and signage: $510
• Tools hire and delivery: $250
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

This could happen to any of us. Sent it to 16 people at work. God bless.
praying for you, Arianna. Your post was clear and honest. My neighbor in Corpus Christi donated after I showed her your page. Greetings from Corpus Christi.
This could happen to any of us. Thinking of Lowell.
