Uppsala
For three years the neighborhood has asked for a youth football pitch. This year a group of 21 volunteers, including the neighborhood football club, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for the Liberty health centre yard, but no funding. We have received donated a pump, and the remaining cost is $2,550. It will serve about 554 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. Funds are spent only on materials, permits and safety equipment; all labor is volunteered. Where the $2,550 goes: • Tools hire and delivery: $460 • Materials: $1,600 • Safety equipment and signage: $490 Thank you so much. - Erik

  • Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My neighbor in Saint-Étienne donated after I showed her your page. Blessings.
