Let's build a sensory garden for children with autism together in Rome
Volunteers in Rome are raising $3,200 for a sensory garden for children with autism at Freedom Park.

For three years the neighborhood has asked for a sensory garden for children with autism. This year a group of 11 volunteers, including the parish youth group, 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 $3,200.
It will serve about 311 people, including local farmers and market traders. We'll hold a build day in April 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 $3,200 goes:
• Materials: $2,750
• Permits and inspections: $150
• Safety equipment and signage: $155
• Tools hire and delivery: $145
Glad we found this place.

Good luck. Projects like this are what make a place worth living in. Don't give up. Take care.
hope things get better soon. More neighborhoods should do this. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it
Thinking of you and your family. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My husband and I read this together. Blessings.
