The Harmony community hall needs a community garden - Henok's neighborhood project
We have the land, the volunteers and the plan for a community garden - we need $250 for materials.

For eight years the neighborhood has asked for a community garden. This year a group of 30 volunteers, including a group of teenagers, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for the Harmony community hall, but no funding.
We have received donated soil and plants, and the remaining cost is $250.
It will serve about 180 people, including elderly neighbors living alone. We'll hold a build day in May 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 $250 goes:
• Materials: $185
• Permits and inspections: $15
• Safety equipment and signage: $20
• Tools hire and delivery: $30
Thanks for reading all this.

Wishing you peace. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. We're a small family in Seattle but we're thinking of you. Take care.
is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Henok
Materials is $185 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. Let me know if you want more detail.
more neighborhoods should do this. Take care.
Hope it all works out. Your post was clear and honest. It's not much but it's yours. Love from London.
how is Henok doing now?
Praying for you, Henok. Looking forward to the next update.
Praying for you, Henok. Your post was clear and honest. After 30 years in logistics I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Take care
Thinking of you, Henok. Hope this works out for you. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double!
Shared this with my family. Love from Buenos Aires.
Thinking of you and your family. Shared it with a few friends. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Love from Newcastle.
Rooting for you, Henok. This could happen to any of us. Don't give up.
Hope it all works out. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. It's not much but it's yours. All the best.
