A youth football pitch for Lotus Primary School: help our neighbors in San Francisco
We have the land, the volunteers and the plan for a youth football pitch - we need $3,000 for materials.

For five years the neighborhood has asked for a youth football pitch. This year a group of 15 volunteers, including the parish youth group, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for Lotus Primary School, but no funding.
We have received donated a pump, and the remaining cost is $3,000.
It will serve about 349 people, including young people who have nowhere safe to play. We'll hold a build day in June 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 $3,000 goes:
• Materials: $2,050
• Permits and inspections: $360
• Safety equipment and signage: $330
• Tools hire and delivery: $260
Every share and every dollar helps.

Projects like this are what make a place worth living in. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Thinking of San Francisco
Thanks for sharing this. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. All the best
Sending love, Daniel. Looking forward to the next update.
Praying for you, Daniel. More neighborhoods should do this. My neighbor in Mthatha donated after I showed her your page.
thinking of you. Your post was clear and honest. After 19 years in hospitality I know how hard it is to ask for anything.
Hope this works out for you. I'm in engineering myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Love from San Antonio.
