For ten years the neighborhood has asked for a community fridge. This year a group of 12 volunteers, including two retired carpenters, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for Lotus Park, but no funding. We have received donated paint, and the remaining cost is $1,750. It will serve about 149 people, including school children and their families. We'll hold a build day in November 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 $1,750 goes: • Materials: $1,200 • Permits and inspections: $220 • Safety equipment and signage: $240 • Tools hire and delivery: $90 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to. - Davide

    Great help in a difficult time

    This helper is honest and transparent about what they can do. They didn't overpromise, but they did deliver excellent results. I would definitely trust them again.

    Patient and understanding

    The support I received was beyond what I expected. Not only did they help with the immediate need, but they also provided guidance for long-term solutions. I'm forever grateful.

    hope the build day goes well, wish I lived closer. After 11 years in social work I know how hard it's to ask for anything.

      hope things get better soon. Shared this with my family. Wish I lived closer to Kyiv so I could bring a meal. Take care.
