A youth football pitch for the Liberty community hall: help our neighbors in Uberlândia
We have the land, the volunteers and the plan for a youth football pitch - we need $1,300 for materials.

For twelve years the neighborhood has asked for a youth football pitch. This year a group of 14 volunteers, including local mothers, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for the Liberty community hall, but no funding.
We have received donated timber, and the remaining cost is $1,300.
It will serve about 202 people, including school children and their families. 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 $1,300 goes:
• Materials: $1,050
• Permits and inspections: $40
• Safety equipment and signage: $90
• Tools hire and delivery: $120
Every share and every dollar helps.

So sorry you're going through this, Roberto. This could happen to any of us. My husband and I read this together.
you're not alone, Roberto. Shared this with my family. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double.
Wishing you the best. Projects like this are what make a place worth living in. Take care.
Wishing you the best, Roberto. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I went through something like this 9 years ago and strangers helped me out. Blessings
Hope it all works out. Shared it with a few friends. Put this on a community board in Bengaluru this morning. Love from Bengaluru
Stay strong, Roberto. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. God bless.
Hope it all works out, Roberto. Shared it with a few friends. After 28 years in accounting I know how hard it's to ask for anything
Good luck. This could happen to any of us. Greetings from Savar!
