For twelve years the neighborhood has asked for a covered market stall space. This year a group of 10 volunteers, including the neighborhood football club, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for the Sycamore community hall, but no funding.
We have received donated soil and plants, and the remaining cost is $1,350.
It will serve about 330 people, including school children and their families. We'll hold a build day in October 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 $1,350 goes:
• Tools hire and delivery: $50
• Materials: $1,150
• Permits and inspections: $150
If you're reading this, thank you.

Good news. Because of your gifts ($351 in total) the plan for tools hire and delivery is now scheduled. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
Thank you all. We're at 13% now ($175). I'm honestly stunned. we've started the first stage. - Isabela
