Maple Park needs a sensory garden for children with autism - Marina's neighborhood project
We have the land, the volunteers and the plan for a sensory garden for children with autism - we need $1,000 for materials.
🇷🇺 Sverdlovsk Oblast, Russia1,608 views
For ten years the neighborhood has asked for a sensory garden for children with autism. This year a group of 15 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 timber, and the remaining cost is $1,000.
It will serve about 311 people, including young people who have nowhere safe to play. We'll hold a build day in October 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 $1,000 goes:
• Materials: $730
• Permits and inspections: $80
• Safety equipment and signage: $80
• Tools hire and delivery: $110
If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

so sorry you're going through this, Marina. Hope this works out for you. My mother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home
Praying for you. I hope things turn around soon. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. God bless.
Keep going, Marina. Looking forward to the next update. I have a 14 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Greetings from Turin
Wishing you the best. I hope things turn around soon. Thinking of Yekaterinburg.
Sending strength, Marina. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend.
