The Acacia vacant lot needs a playground - Kemi's neighborhood project

For twelve years the neighborhood has asked for a playground. This year a group of 11 volunteers, including the parish youth group, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for the Acacia vacant lot, but no funding. We have received donated paint, and the remaining cost is $700. It will serve about 459 people, including elderly neighbors living alone. We'll hold a build day in August 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 $700 goes: • Materials: $530 • Permits and inspections: $60 • Safety equipment and signage: $25 • Tools hire and delivery: $85 Glad we found this place. - Kemi
