For ten years the neighborhood has asked for a sensory garden for children with autism. This year a group of 20 volunteers, including two retired carpenters, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for Liberty Primary School, but no funding. We have received donated soil and plants, and the remaining cost is $1,800. It will serve about 159 people, including school children and their families. 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 $1,800 goes: • Materials: $950 • Permits and inspections: $120 • Safety equipment and signage: $210 • Tools hire and delivery: $520 Thank you for reading my story.
