Let's build a youth football pitch together in Milan
We have the land, the volunteers and the plan for a youth football pitch - we need $2,700 for materials.
🇮🇹 Milan, Lombardy, Italy1,256 views
For five years the neighborhood has asked for a youth football pitch. This year a group of 8 volunteers, including local mothers, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for the old Jacaranda bus depot, but no funding.
We have received donated a pump, and the remaining cost is $2,700.
It will serve about 558 people, including school children and their families. We'll hold a build day in July 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 $2,700 goes:
• Materials: $2,350
• Permits and inspections: $210
• Tools hire and delivery: $140
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

rooting for you, Enrico. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Blessings.
Can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Milan
Thank you. If you're in Milan I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Good question.
Sending love. This could happen to any of us. I have a 17 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Blessings.
So sorry you're going through this, Enrico. More neighborhoods should do this. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it.
How is Enrico doing now?
Hang in there. Your post was clear and honest. Thinking of Milan
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Enrico.
Keep going, Enrico. Hope this works out for you. After 16 years in teaching I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Love from Bandung.
Sending good thoughts, Enrico. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. We're a small family in New Delhi but we're thinking of you. Love from New Delhi.
rooting for you. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Please keep us posted. God bless.
Sending strength. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Greetings from San Miguel de Tucumán.
Thinking of you, Enrico. Projects like this are what make a place worth living in. I'm in nursing myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you
Hang in there, Enrico. This could happen to any of us. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Love from Edmonton.
