For eight years the neighborhood has asked for a sensory garden for children with autism. This year a group of 10 volunteers, including the parish youth group, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for the Baobab vacant lot, but no funding. We have received donated soil and plants, and the remaining cost is $600. It will serve about 296 people, including elderly neighbors living alone. 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. All purchases will be made by two volunteers and logged publicly. Surplus funds will go to maintenance. Where the $600 goes: • Materials: $520 • Permits and inspections: $45 • Safety equipment and signage: $20 • Tools hire and delivery: $15 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly. - Thắng
