A community-led a youth football pitch at the Jacaranda community hall that will serve 422 neighbors.

For eight years the neighborhood has asked for a youth football pitch. This year a group of 25 volunteers, including a retired civil engineer, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for the Jacaranda community hall, but no funding.
We have received donated timber, and the remaining cost is $250.
It will serve about 422 people, including local farmers and market traders. We'll hold a build day in April 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: $135
• Tools hire and delivery: $40
• Permits and inspections: $75
If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

20% there. I made the first payment toward materials. Thank you.
Good news. Because of your gifts ($40 in total) the plan for permits and inspections is now scheduled. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely. - Bethlehem

Good luck. Great idea, hope you get there. After 24 years in accounting I know how hard it is to ask for anything. Love from Nashik
how is Bethlehem doing now?
Thinking of you and your family, Bethlehem. Your post was clear and honest. I have a 8 year old who wants to send good wishes too.
Rooting for you, Bethlehem. Projects like this are what make a place worth living in. I have a 17 year old who wants to send good wishes too.
Thinking of you and your family, Bethlehem. Your post was clear and honest. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. God bless
I hope things turn around soon. After 8 years in logistics I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
