For twelve years the neighborhood has asked for a rainwater harvesting system. This year a group of 29 volunteers, including local mothers, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for the Acacia health centre yard, but no funding. We have received donated paint, and the remaining cost is $2,250. It will serve about 144 people, including young people who have nowhere safe to play. We'll hold a build day in March 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 $2,250 goes: • Materials: $1,650 • Permits and inspections: $220 • Safety equipment and signage: $135 • Tools hire and delivery: $245 Thank you for reading my story.

    Helped when no one else could

    This is the kind of person who restores your faith in humanity. They didn't just offer help; they genuinely cared about my wellbeing and followed through on every commitment.

    Outstanding person

    Couldn't have asked for better support. They listened carefully, understood my situation deeply, and provided thoughtful advice that actually worked. Thank you so much.

    you're not alone. Looking forward to the next update. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Love from Los Angeles.

      Praying for you, Peyton. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Thinking of Albany.

      • Lucas B. Lowe

        So sorry you're going through this, Peyton. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I have a 9 year old who wants to send good wishes too.

        • Vilai Siriporn Boonmee

          Sending strength, Peyton. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double

          • Todd P. Molina

            You're not alone, Peyton. More neighborhoods should do this. We're a small family in Gangnam but we're thinking of you.
