A youth football pitch for Freedom Park: help our neighbors in Pasig
We have the land, the volunteers and the plan for a youth football pitch - we need $750 for materials.
Anywhere in the world2,455 views
For three years the neighborhood has asked for a youth football pitch. This year a group of 19 volunteers, including local mothers, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for Freedom Park, but no funding.
We have received donated timber, and the remaining cost is $750.
It will serve about 292 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 $750 goes:
• Safety equipment and signage: $60
• Tools hire and delivery: $90
• Materials: $600
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.
