For twelve years the neighborhood has asked for a sensory garden for children with autism. This year a group of 11 volunteers, including a retired civil engineer, 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 $3,050. It will serve about 98 people, including elderly neighbors living alone. We'll hold a build day in September 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 $3,050 goes: โ€ข Materials: $2,450 โ€ข Permits and inspections: $130 โ€ข Safety equipment and signage: $140 โ€ข Tools hire and delivery: $330 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly. - Hendrik
