For eight years the neighborhood has asked for a rainwater harvesting system. This year a group of 15 volunteers, including a retired civil engineer, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for the Jacaranda health centre yard, but no funding. We have received donated a pump, and the remaining cost is $500. It will serve about 535 people, including young people who have nowhere safe to play. 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. All purchases will be made by two volunteers and logged publicly. Surplus funds will go to maintenance. Where the $500 goes: • Materials: $380 • Permits and inspections: $50 • Safety equipment and signage: $25 • Tools hire and delivery: $45 Glad we found this place.

          Good luck, Anjana. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. All the best!

                  Best of luck, Anjana. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Thinking of Agra

                      I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. After 15 years in public service I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
