For twelve years the neighborhood has asked for a community fridge. This year a group of 30 volunteers, including a group of teenagers, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for Maple Primary School, but no funding. We have received donated paint, and the remaining cost is $3,250. It will serve about 496 people, including young people who have nowhere safe to play. 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 $3,250 goes: • Safety equipment and signage: $170 • Permits and inspections: $250 • Materials: $2,830 If you're reading this, thank you.

    So sorry you're going through this. Projects like this are what make a place worth living in. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. God bless!

    • Rooting for you. Hope this works out for you. Love from Dnipro.

      • Praying for you, Santiago. Looking forward to the next update. Sent it to 24 people at work. Greetings from San Sebastián.
