For eight years the neighborhood has asked for a sensory garden for children with autism. This year a group of 29 volunteers, including a group of teenagers, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for the Cedar health centre yard, but no funding. We have received donated volunteer hours worth about $510, and the remaining cost is $2,750. It will serve about 536 people, including young people who have nowhere safe to play. We'll hold a build day in December 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 $2,750 goes: • Materials: $2,050 • Permits and inspections: $280 • Tools hire and delivery: $420 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot. - Colton

Good news. Because of your gifts ($115 in total) I met with the suppliers and confirmed the amounts. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
Quick update: $140 raised so far (5%). I made the first payment toward tools hire and delivery. Receipts coming as soon as I have them. - Colton

Good luck, Colton. Shared it with a few friends. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Greetings from Mombasa.
