Let's build a covered market stall space together in Pelotas

We have the land, the volunteers and the plan for a covered market stall space - we need $900 for materials.

Pelotas
For ten years the neighborhood has asked for a covered market stall space. This year a group of 18 volunteers, including a group of teenagers, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for the old Sycamore bus depot, but no funding. We have received donated volunteer hours worth about $190, and the remaining cost is $900. It will serve about 452 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. Funds are spent only on materials, permits and safety equipment; all labor is volunteered. Where the $900 goes: • Materials: $610 • Permits and inspections: $40 • Safety equipment and signage: $100 • Tools hire and delivery: $150 I hope life is good to you. - Sandra

    Sending strength. Hope the build day goes well, wish I lived closer. After 14 years in customer support I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Thinking of Pelotas.

      Hope it all works out, Sandra. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I'm in hospitality myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you
