Let's build a playground together in Quezon City
We have the land, the volunteers and the plan for a playground - we need $450 for materials.

For twelve years the neighborhood has asked for a playground. This year a group of 21 volunteers, including the parish youth group, 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 $120, and the remaining cost is $450.
It will serve about 347 people, including children, seniors and people with disabilities. We'll hold a build day in March 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 $450 goes:
• Safety equipment and signage: $25
• Materials: $320
• Tools hire and delivery: $105
Thanks for reading all this.

More neighborhoods should do this. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Take care!
Hope it all works out, Benjamin. This could happen to any of us.
You're not alone. Shared this with my family. Put this on a community board in Mecca this morning. Greetings from Mecca.
