For ten years the neighborhood has asked for a covered market stall space. This year a group of 10 volunteers, including the parish youth group, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for Liberty Primary School, but no funding.
We have received donated timber, and the remaining cost is $2,350.
It will serve about 455 people, including school children and their families. We'll hold a build day in March 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 $2,350 goes:
• Materials: $1,800
• Permits and inspections: $90
• Safety equipment and signage: $310
• Tools hire and delivery: $150
Thanks for reading all this.

Rooting for you, Josiah. More neighborhoods should do this. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like
Sending strength, Josiah. Looking forward to the next update. Love from Amsterdam.
Sending love, Josiah. Hope this works out for you. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Love from Alcalá de Henares.
Keep going, Josiah. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Blessings.
Hope it all works out, Josiah. Hope the build day goes well, wish I lived closer. God bless
Rooting for you, Josiah. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Sent it to 32 people at work. Blessings
Thinking of you and your family, Josiah. More neighborhoods should do this. We're a small family in Pune but we're thinking of you. God bless.
