Volunteers in Quezon City are raising $750 for a repair café workshop at Sycamore Primary School.

For twelve years the neighborhood has asked for a repair café workshop. This year a group of 19 volunteers, including the neighborhood football club, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for Sycamore Primary School, but no funding.
We have received donated soil and plants, and the remaining cost is $750.
It will serve about 353 people, including local farmers and market traders. We'll hold a build day in July 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 $750 goes:
• Materials: $580
• Permits and inspections: $45
• Safety equipment and signage: $70
• Tools hire and delivery: $55
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Keep going, Maria. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Thinking of Quezon City
Hang in there. Hope this works out for you. Put this on a community board in Los Angeles this morning.
