Let's build a covered market stall space together in Cebu City
We have the land, the volunteers and the plan for a covered market stall space - we need $650 for materials.

For five years the neighborhood has asked for a covered market stall space. This year a group of 17 volunteers, including a retired civil engineer, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for the old Jacaranda bus depot, but no funding.
We have received donated a pump, and the remaining cost is $650.
It will serve about 214 people, including local farmers and market traders. We'll hold a build day in August 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 $650 goes:
• Materials: $500
• Permits and inspections: $20
• Safety equipment and signage: $35
• Tools hire and delivery: $95
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Thinking of you, Imelda. Projects like this are what make a place worth living in. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it.
More neighborhoods should do this. Love from Fresno
Stay strong, Imelda. I hope things turn around soon. Greetings from Thủ Đức.
Hope the build day goes well, wish I lived closer. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Greetings from Savar
sending strength. This could happen to any of us. My brother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Blessings
