The Harmony health centre yard needs a covered market stall space - Márcia's neighborhood project
We have the land, the volunteers and the plan for a covered market stall space - we need $700 for materials.
Anywhere in the world1,870 views
For five years the neighborhood has asked for a covered market stall space. This year a group of 12 volunteers, including the neighborhood football club, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for the Harmony health centre yard, but no funding.
We have received donated volunteer hours worth about $100, and the remaining cost is $700.
It will serve about 84 people, including children, seniors and people with disabilities. 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 $700 goes:
• Materials: $440
• Permits and inspections: $120
• Safety equipment and signage: $70
• Tools hire and delivery: $70
With deep gratitude,
Márcia

Thinking of you and your family. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Greetings from Nizamabad.
Hope things get better soon, Márcia. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did.
best of luck, Márcia. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I went through something like this 5 years ago and strangers helped me out. Greetings from San Diego.
Thinking of you and your family, Márcia. Hope you get there. I have a 17 year old who wants to send good wishes too. God bless.
Wishing you the best, Márcia. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My neighbor in Wollongong donated after I showed her your page. Take care.
