For three years the neighborhood has asked for a sensory garden for children with autism. This year a group of 28 volunteers, including the parish youth group, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for the Freedom community hall, but no funding. We have received donated timber, and the remaining cost is $4,900. It will serve about 307 people, including elderly neighbors living alone. We'll hold a build day in June 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 $4,900 goes: • Materials: $3,950 • Permits and inspections: $290 • Safety equipment and signage: $450 • Tools hire and delivery: $210 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.
