Maple Park needs a playground - Alyssa's neighborhood project
We have the land, the volunteers and the plan for a playground - we need $3,500 for materials.

For ten years the neighborhood has asked for a playground. This year a group of 26 volunteers, including a group of teenagers, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for Maple Park, but no funding.
We have received donated a pump, and the remaining cost is $3,500.
It will serve about 444 people, including local farmers and market traders. We'll hold a build day in December 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 $3,500 goes:
• Materials: $2,600
• Permits and inspections: $360
• Safety equipment and signage: $290
• Tools hire and delivery: $250
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

Wishing you peace, Alyssa. This could happen to any of us. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Greetings from San Diego!
Wishing you peace. This could happen to any of us. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry
Take care, Alyssa. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. God bless.
