For three years the neighborhood has asked for a playground. This year a group of 22 volunteers, including local mothers, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for the Acacia vacant lot, but no funding. We have received donated tools, and the remaining cost is $250. It will serve about 427 people, including school children and their families. We'll hold a build day in November 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. All purchases will be made by two volunteers and logged publicly. Surplus funds will go to maintenance. Where the $250 goes: • Materials: $140 • Safety equipment and signage: $55 • Permits and inspections: $55 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to. - Tâm

Updates from Tâm

  1. Quick update: $50 raised so far (20%). I made the first payment toward permits and inspections. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.
