Ciudad de México
For eight years the neighborhood has asked for a sensory garden for children with autism. This year a group of 15 volunteers, including the parish youth group, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for Unity Park, but no funding. We have received donated timber, and the remaining cost is $650. It will serve about 227 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. All purchases will be made by two volunteers and logged publicly. Surplus funds will go to maintenance. Where the $650 goes: • Safety equipment and signage: $75 • Tools hire and delivery: $85 • Materials: $490 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

    Who gets the funds, you or the suppliers?

    • Citlali BenítezOwnerAnswerPhoto verified

      It comes to me first, then I pay the suppliers myself and upload the receipt. I wouldn't be comfortable any other way. Fair thing to want to know.

  • Best of luck, Citlali. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too

    • What exactly is the $650 for?

      • Citlali BenítezOwnerAnswerPhoto verified

        Safety equipment and signage is $75 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. Fair thing to want to know.

    • Our local city council office has an emergency fund, might be worth asking them.

      • how is Citlali doing now?

        • Shaista Javeria LodhiPhoto verified

          • hope it all works out, Citlali. Shared this with my family. Blessings.
