For five years the neighborhood has asked for a youth football pitch. This year a group of 11 volunteers, including local mothers, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for Maple Primary School, but no funding. We have received donated tools, and the remaining cost is $3,100. It will serve about 569 people, including children, seniors and people with disabilities. 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 $3,100 goes: • Materials: $1,950 • Permits and inspections: $240 • Safety equipment and signage: $300 • Tools hire and delivery: $610 I hope life is good to you.

    Genuine person with a big heart

    I can't speak highly enough about this helper. They were available when I needed them, supportive when I felt lost, and practical in their solutions.

    Made me feel heard

    This helper is honest and transparent about what they can do. They didn't overpromise, but they did deliver excellent results. I would definitely trust them again.

          Thinking of you, Hudson. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I hope September is when things finally get easier.
