The Baobab health centre yard needs a youth football pitch - Mykola's neighborhood project
We have the land, the volunteers and the plan for a youth football pitch - we need $750 for materials.
Anywhere in the world1,550 views
For five years the neighborhood has asked for a youth football pitch. This year a group of 19 volunteers, including a retired civil engineer, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for the Baobab health centre yard, but no funding.
We have received donated tools, and the remaining cost is $750.
It will serve about 384 people, including school children and their families. We'll hold a build day in October 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: $540
• Permits and inspections: $30
• Safety equipment and signage: $60
• Tools hire and delivery: $120
Thanks for being kind about this.

Hope it all works out. Hope the build day goes well, wish I lived closer. Don't give up.
Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I have a 13 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Love from Paris.
Sending love. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Sent it to 19 people at work
Hang in there. This could happen to any of us. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. God bless.
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Mykola.
It's all in the list in the story. materials is the big one at $540, I'll post a receipt when it's paid. It helps to be asked.
You're not alone, Mykola. More neighborhoods should do this. Please keep us posted.
hope things get better soon, Mykola. This could happen to any of us. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Love from Maringá
Hope things get better soon, Mykola. Shared it with a few friends. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like
best of luck, Mykola. This could happen to any of us. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust!
Thinking of you and your family, Mykola. Looking forward to the next update. Love from Mumbai
wishing you peace, Mykola. Hope you get there. Blessings
