Let's build a youth football pitch together in Sydney
Volunteers in Sydney are raising $2,050 for a youth football pitch at the old Harmony bus depot.

For five years the neighborhood has asked for a youth football pitch. This year a group of 30 volunteers, including the parish youth group, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for the old Harmony bus depot, but no funding.
We have received donated paint, and the remaining cost is $2,050.
It will serve about 152 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 $2,050 goes:
• Materials: $1,050
• Permits and inspections: $290
• Safety equipment and signage: $410
• Tools hire and delivery: $300
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Sending love. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My father had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Greetings from Belo Horizonte.
looking forward to the next update. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Thinking of Sydney.
Best of luck. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Take care.
projects like this are what make a place worth living in. Greetings from Chandler
Take care. Shared this with my family. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Thinking of Sydney.
Good luck. This could happen to any of us. Don't give up. All the best
