For eight years the neighborhood has asked for a solar-powered water pump. This year a group of 17 volunteers, including the parish youth group, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for Harmony Primary School, but no funding. We have received donated tools, and the remaining cost is $2,150. It will serve about 383 people, including young people who have nowhere safe to play. We'll hold a build day in November 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 $2,150 goes: • Materials: $1,500 • Permits and inspections: $120 • Safety equipment and signage: $175 • Tools hire and delivery: $355 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure. - Amélie

    Exactly what I needed

    The support I received was beyond what I expected. Not only did they help with the immediate need, but they also provided guidance for long-term solutions. I'm forever grateful.

    Made me feel heard

    I was going through a tough time and this person's support was invaluable. They didn't judge, just helped. That kind of genuine compassion is rare these days.

              more neighborhoods should do this. We're a small family in Bornova but we're thinking of you.

              • Polina Viktoria Belov

                Keep going, Amélie. Hope you get there. I went through something like this 3 years ago and strangers helped me out. All the best.
