Let's build a rainwater harvesting system together in Gold Coast
Volunteers in Gold Coast are raising $3,450 for a rainwater harvesting system at the Harmony health centre yard.

For ten years the neighborhood has asked for a rainwater harvesting system. This year a group of 14 volunteers, including the neighborhood football club, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for the Harmony health centre yard, but no funding.
We have received donated a pump, and the remaining cost is $3,450.
It will serve about 106 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.
Funds are spent only on materials, permits and safety equipment; all labor is volunteered.
Where the $3,450 goes:
• Materials: $2,650
• Permits and inspections: $240
• Safety equipment and signage: $115
• Tools hire and delivery: $445
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Hang in there, Kevin. This could happen to any of us
So sorry you're going through this. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Greetings from Madurai.
Best of luck. Great idea, hope you get there. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it.
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Kevin.
good luck, Kevin. Looking forward to the next update.
How is Kevin doing now?
keep going, Kevin. Shared it with a few friends. Thinking of Gold Coast
can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Gold Coast!
Thank you. If you're in Gold Coast I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Thanks, that means a lot.
Stay strong, Kevin. Shared this with my family. Please keep us posted.
take care. Hope the build day goes well, wish I lived closer. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend.
keep going. Gave what I could, wish it was more
Wishing you the best, Kevin. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My neighbor had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. All the best.
Thinking of you and your family, Kevin. Shared it with a few friends. Thinking of Gold Coast.
Sending good thoughts. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I'll check back for the next update. Blessings.
