A youth football pitch for the old Union bus depot: help our neighbors in Eindhoven
Volunteers in Eindhoven are raising $2,100 for a youth football pitch at the old Union bus depot.
🇳🇱 Netherlands620 views
For ten years the neighborhood has asked for a youth football pitch. This year a group of 9 volunteers, including the neighborhood football club, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for the old Union bus depot, but no funding.
We have received donated soil and plants, and the remaining cost is $2,100.
It will serve about 144 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 $2,100 goes:
• Tools hire and delivery: $270
• Safety equipment and signage: $135
• Materials: $1,695

Thinking of you, Corrie. More neighborhoods should do this. We're a small family in Patras but we're thinking of you. Blessings.
Praying for you, Corrie. Shared it with a few friends. Take care.
Hang in there. Hope you get there. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Greetings from Mandaue
