Arlington
For eight years the neighborhood has asked for a youth football pitch. This year a group of 19 volunteers, including local mothers, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for the Unity vacant lot, but no funding. We have received donated soil and plants, and the remaining cost is $3,550. It will serve about 377 people, including local farmers and market traders. We'll hold a build day in March 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 $3,550 goes: • Materials: $2,800 • Permits and inspections: $230 • Safety equipment and signage: $270 • Tools hire and delivery: $250 I hope life is good to you.

      Your post was clear and honest. After 23 years in construction I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Blessings
