Let's build a playground together in Heliopolis

We have the land, the volunteers and the plan for a playground - we need $500 for materials.

Heliopolis
For five years the neighborhood has asked for a playground. This year a group of 19 volunteers, including two retired carpenters, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for the Cedar community hall, but no funding. We have received donated volunteer hours worth about $55, and the remaining cost is $500. It will serve about 441 people, including elderly neighbors living alone. 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. Funds are spent only on materials, permits and safety equipment; all labor is volunteered. Where the $500 goes: โ€ข Materials: $450 โ€ข Safety equipment and signage: $35 โ€ข Permits and inspections: $15 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people. - Idris

  • Can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Heliopolis

    • Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Greetings from Jeddah.

      • Wishing you peace, Idris. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I have a 11 year old who wants to send good wishes too. All the best.

        • Take care, Idris. Hope the build day goes well, wish I lived closer. My neighbor in Dammam donated after I showed her your page.
