A community-led a sensory garden for children with autism at Maple Park that will serve 112 neighbors.

For five years the neighborhood has asked for a sensory garden for children with autism. This year a group of 21 volunteers, including the neighborhood football club, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for Maple Park, but no funding.
We have received donated soil and plants, and the remaining cost is $700.
It will serve about 112 people, including young people who have nowhere safe to play. We'll hold a build day in April 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 $700 goes:
• Tools hire and delivery: $85
• Permits and inspections: $55
• Materials: $560
Thank you so much.

Hope it all works out, Jomar. Hope the build day goes well, wish I lived closer. I have a 14 year old who wants to send good wishes too. God bless.
Stay strong, Jomar. More neighborhoods should do this. It's not much but it's yours. God bless
hang in there, Jomar. I hope things turn around soon. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. All the best.
Shared it with a few friends. Thinking of Lapu-Lapu.
Projects like this are what make a place worth living in. My colleague had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Greetings from Gangnam.
Great idea, hope you get there. I went through something like this 8 years ago and strangers helped me out. Take care.
