Sycamore Park needs a community fridge - Jin-woo's neighborhood project
Volunteers in Mapo are raising $1,650 for a community fridge at Sycamore Park.
🇰🇷 Seoul, South Korea2,723 views
For ten years the neighborhood has asked for a community fridge. This year a group of 17 volunteers, including a group of teenagers, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for Sycamore Park, but no funding.
We have received donated timber, and the remaining cost is $1,650.
It will serve about 108 people, including school children and their families. We'll hold a build day in May 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 $1,650 goes:
• Materials: $1,300
• Permits and inspections: $230
• Safety equipment and signage: $120
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

Keep going, Jin-woo. Hope you get there. Don't give up.
you're not alone, Jin-woo. Hope the build day goes well, wish I lived closer. My sister had a similar thing happen so this one hit home
Take care. It takes guts to ask. Well done. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Jin-woo
The list at the bottom is the whole picture. materials is the biggest at $1,300. Thanks, that means a lot.
Projects like this are what make a place worth living in. I have a 8 year old who wants to send good wishes too. God bless.
hope you get there. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Thinking of Mapo.
Stay strong, Jin-woo. Projects like this are what make a place worth living in. Wish I lived closer to Daegu so I could bring a meal!
Thinking of you and your family. I hope things turn around soon. Thinking of Mapo.
