Let's build a youth football pitch together in Grand Rapids
We have the land, the volunteers and the plan for a youth football pitch - we need $4,100 for materials.
🇺🇸 United States3,272 views
For three years the neighborhood has asked for a youth football pitch. This year a group of 22 volunteers, including the parish youth group, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for the old Acacia bus depot, but no funding.
We have received donated soil and plants, and the remaining cost is $4,100.
It will serve about 143 people, including school children and their families. We'll hold a build day in April 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 $4,100 goes:
• Materials: $3,250
• Tools hire and delivery: $620
• Permits and inspections: $230
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Sending strength, Nevaeh. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Take care.
Wishing you peace. More neighborhoods should do this. We're a small family in New York but we're thinking of you. Love from New York.
Thinking of you and your family. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Greetings from Mwanza
So sorry you're going through this, Nevaeh. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. God bless.
Sending good thoughts, Nevaeh. Hope this works out for you. My husband and I read this together
Sending strength. Great idea, hope you get there. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Thinking of Grand Rapids
