The Jacaranda community hall needs a repair café workshop - Chalida's neighborhood project
A community-led a repair café workshop at the Jacaranda community hall that will serve 480 neighbors.

For five years the neighborhood has asked for a repair café workshop. This year a group of 28 volunteers, including the neighborhood football club, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for the Jacaranda community hall, but no funding.
We have received donated a pump, and the remaining cost is $650.
It will serve about 480 people, including school children and their families. 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 $650 goes:
• Materials: $390
• Permits and inspections: $75
• Safety equipment and signage: $80
• Tools hire and delivery: $105
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

Thinking of you and your family, Chalida. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Blessings.
shared it with a few friends. I went through something like this 7 years ago and strangers helped me out. Greetings from Mumbai.
Thanks for sharing this. Looking forward to the next update. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Love from Akron
Take care, Chalida. This could happen to any of us. I have a 16 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Thinking of Bangkok.
Keep going. Hope the build day goes well, wish I lived closer. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Take care.
Hope it all works out, Chalida. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My husband and I read this together.
