Let's build a sensory garden for children with autism together in Salvador
We have the land, the volunteers and the plan for a sensory garden for children with autism - we need $1,000 for materials.
🇧🇷 Salvador, Bahia, Brazil2,003 views
For five years the neighborhood has asked for a sensory garden for children with autism. This year a group of 25 volunteers, including the neighborhood football club, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for the Cedar vacant lot, but no funding.
We have received donated soil and plants, and the remaining cost is $1,000.
It will serve about 318 people, including young people who have nowhere safe to play. We'll hold a build day in June 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 $1,000 goes:
• Materials: $670
• Permits and inspections: $50
• Safety equipment and signage: $105
• Tools hire and delivery: $175
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Fernanda.
It's all in the list in the story. materials is the big one at $670, I'll post a receipt when it's paid. Thanks for asking.
Take care. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Thinking of Salvador.
Best of luck, Fernanda. Gave what I could, wish it was more.
Keep going, Fernanda. Hope you get there. We're a small family in Uppsala but we're thinking of you. God bless.
Sending love. It takes guts to ask. Well done. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Take care.
Hang in there. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My neighbor had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Love from Gothenburg.
Wishing you peace, Fernanda. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Thinking of Salvador.
