For twelve years the neighborhood has asked for a sensory garden for children with autism. This year a group of 9 volunteers, including a group of teenagers, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for Freedom Park, but no funding. We have received donated a pump, and the remaining cost is $3,450. It will serve about 346 people, including local farmers and market traders. We'll hold a build day in August 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 $3,450 goes: • Materials: $2,750 • Permits and inspections: $260 • Safety equipment and signage: $250 • Tools hire and delivery: $190 I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support. - Jacob

    You're not alone, Jacob. It takes guts to ask. Well done. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it!
