Verona
For twelve years the neighborhood has asked for a youth football pitch. This year a group of 11 volunteers, including a group of teenagers, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for the Cedar health centre yard, but no funding. We have received donated soil and plants, and the remaining cost is $1,850. It will serve about 250 people, including children, seniors and people with disabilities. We'll hold a build day in February 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 $1,850 goes: • Materials: $1,500 • Permits and inspections: $165 • Safety equipment and signage: $185 I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.
