Let's build a sensory garden for children with autism together in Québec
Volunteers in Québec are raising $4,000 for a sensory garden for children with autism at the Harmony vacant lot.
🇨🇦 Quebec, Canada3,471 views
For twelve years the neighborhood has asked for a sensory garden for children with autism. This year a group of 9 volunteers, including two retired carpenters, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for the Harmony vacant lot, but no funding.
We have received donated volunteer hours worth about $680, and the remaining cost is $4,000.
It will serve about 205 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 $4,000 goes:
• Materials: $3,350
• Permits and inspections: $200
• Safety equipment and signage: $250
• Tools hire and delivery: $200

Thinking of you, Nevaeh. Gave what I could, wish it was more. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry.
Take care, Nevaeh. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My husband and I read this together. Take care.
Good luck. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Take care.
Wishing you the best, Nevaeh. Shared this with my family. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double
More neighborhoods should do this. Put this on a community board in Asaba this morning. God bless.
Thanks for sharing this, Nevaeh. This could happen to any of us. Thinking of Québec.
