Liberty Park needs a sensory garden for children with autism - Kevin's neighborhood project

We have the land, the volunteers and the plan for a sensory garden for children with autism - we need $1,350 for materials.

For five years the neighborhood has asked for a sensory garden for children with autism. This year a group of 15 volunteers, including local mothers, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for Liberty Park, but no funding. We have received donated a pump, and the remaining cost is $1,350. It will serve about 144 people, including elderly neighbors living alone. We'll hold a build day in September 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 $1,350 goes: • Materials: $910 • Safety equipment and signage: $185 • Tools hire and delivery: $255 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to. - Kevin
