Quick update: $2,405 raised so far (44%). we've booked the dates and paid the deposit. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.
We're at 22% thanks to 42 of you. I made the first payment toward roofing sheets and timber. More news soon.
Thank you all. We're at 12% now ($635). I'm honestly stunned. I met with the suppliers and confirmed the amounts.
