Lotus Park needs a rainwater harvesting system - Stanisław's neighborhood project
We have the land, the volunteers and the plan for a rainwater harvesting system - we need $1,700 for materials.
🇵🇱 Poland1,959 views
For twelve years the neighborhood has asked for a rainwater harvesting system. This year a group of 22 volunteers, including two retired carpenters, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for Lotus Park, but no funding.
We have received donated volunteer hours worth about $380, and the remaining cost is $1,700.
It will serve about 188 people, including local farmers and market traders. We'll hold a build day in January 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 $1,700 goes:
• Materials: $1,350
• Permits and inspections: $60
• Safety equipment and signage: $135
• Tools hire and delivery: $155

Sending strength, Stanisław. More neighborhoods should do this. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Greetings from Regensburg!
Take care. I hope things turn around soon. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust.
stay strong. Great idea, hope you get there. Love from Surrey!
Sending strength, Stanisław. Shared this with my family. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. God bless
