Let's build a skate park together in Coyoacán

We have the land, the volunteers and the plan for a skate park - we need $300 for materials.

Coyoacán
For twelve years the neighborhood has asked for a skate park. This year a group of 25 volunteers, including the neighborhood football club, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for the Cedar health centre yard, but no funding. We have received donated paint, and the remaining cost is $300. It will serve about 465 people, including elderly neighbors living alone. 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. Funds are spent only on materials, permits and safety equipment; all labor is volunteered. Where the $300 goes: • Permits and inspections: $105 • Tools hire and delivery: $95 • Safety equipment and signage: $100 Thank you so much. - Diego

Updates from Diego

  1. Thank you all. We're at 47% now ($141). I'm honestly stunned. I made the first payment toward permits and inspections.

  2. Good news. Because of your gifts ($51 in total) I made the first payment toward permits and inspections. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

  3. Quick update: $25 raised so far (8%). I met with the suppliers and confirmed the amounts. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.
