Anaheim
For eight years the neighborhood has asked for a youth football pitch. This year a group of 16 volunteers, including a retired civil engineer, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for the Unity vacant lot, but no funding. We have received donated a pump, and the remaining cost is $3,100. It will serve about 134 people, including elderly neighbors living alone. 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. Funds are spent only on materials, permits and safety equipment; all labor is volunteered. Where the $3,100 goes: • Materials: $2,550 • Safety equipment and signage: $330 • Permits and inspections: $220 Thank you for reading my story. - Keith
