Alcalá de Henares
For five years the neighborhood has asked for a sensory garden for children with autism. This year a group of 27 volunteers, including local mothers, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for Freedom Primary School, but no funding. We have received donated tools, and the remaining cost is $1,250. It will serve about 216 people, including local farmers and market traders. 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. All purchases will be made by two volunteers and logged publicly. Surplus funds will go to maintenance. Where the $1,250 goes: • Materials: $640 • Permits and inspections: $115 • Safety equipment and signage: $300 • Tools hire and delivery: $195 Thank you so much. - Regina

Updates from Regina

  1. Thank you all. We're at 13% now ($160). I'm honestly stunned. we've booked the dates and paid the deposit.

  2. Thank you all. We're at 22% now ($270). I'm honestly stunned. I met with the suppliers and confirmed the amounts.

  3. Good news. Because of your gifts ($365 in total) the plan for materials is now scheduled. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
