Alcalá de Henares
For ten years the neighborhood has asked for a skate park. This year a group of 17 volunteers, including two retired carpenters, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for Maple Park, but no funding. We have received donated timber, and the remaining cost is $750. It will serve about 201 people, including children, seniors and people with disabilities. 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 $750 goes: • Safety equipment and signage: $320 • Tools hire and delivery: $320 • Permits and inspections: $110 I hope life is good to you. - Javier

    How is Javier doing now?

    • Hope it all works out. Your post was clear and honest. My husband and I read this together. All the best.

      • Wishing you peace. Hope you get there. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Love from Embakasi.

          Hang in there, Javier. Looking forward to the next update. All the best.

          • Is there anything that isn't money that would help Javier?

            • Javier IbarraOwnerAnswer

              Sharing the link is the biggest thing. And if you know anything about safety equipment and signage, advice is welcome too. Happy to explain more.

          • Gave what I could, wish it was more. Greetings from Entebbe.

            • Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Javier.

              • Javier IbarraOwnerAnswer

                Safety equipment and signage is $320 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. Thanks for asking.

            • Rooting for you, Javier. I hope things turn around soon. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Blessings.

              • Hang in there, Javier. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I'm in hospitality myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you.

                • Wishing you the best, Javier. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Wish I lived closer to Los Angeles so I could bring a meal!

                  • So sorry you're going through this. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My husband and I read this together. Love from Lahore

                    • Sending good thoughts, Javier. Great idea, hope you get there. Please keep us posted!

                      • Hope things get better soon, Javier. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Love from East London.

                        • Hope it all works out, Javier. Hope the build day goes well, wish I lived closer. We're a small family in Gatineau but we're thinking of you. All the best!

                          • Thinking of you and your family. Great idea, hope you get there. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Thinking of Alcalá de Henares.
