Volunteers in Breda are raising $2,450 for a youth football pitch at the Harmony community hall.

Breda
For three years the neighborhood has asked for a youth football pitch. This year a group of 20 volunteers, including two retired carpenters, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for the Harmony community hall, but no funding. We have received donated soil and plants, and the remaining cost is $2,450. It will serve about 388 people, including elderly neighbors living alone. 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. Funds are spent only on materials, permits and safety equipment; all labor is volunteered. Where the $2,450 goes: • Materials: $1,250 • Permits and inspections: $350 • Safety equipment and signage: $380 • Tools hire and delivery: $470 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

    So sorry you're going through this. Hope you get there. I went through something like this 12 years ago and strangers helped me out.

    • Kaleb Ephrem TayeQuestion

      Can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Breda

      • Kimberly M. Schultz

        Best of luck, Lotte. Shared this with my family. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Take care.

        • Putri SutantoQuestion

          is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Lotte

          • Lotte De BoerOwnerAnswer

            Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. materials comes first ($1,250) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. Let me know if you want more detail.

        • Imelda J. Pangilinan

          Take care, Lotte. It takes guts to ask. Well done. All the best
