Wishing you the best, Riddhi. More neighborhoods should do this. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry

Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Riddhi.
Safety equipment and signage is $45 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. Thanks for asking.
