The Jacaranda health centre yard needs a community garden - Łukasz's neighborhood project
Volunteers in Radom are raising $1,450 for a community garden at the Jacaranda health centre yard.
🇵🇱 Masovia, Poland2,117 views
For eight years the neighborhood has asked for a community garden. This year a group of 24 volunteers, including two retired carpenters, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for the Jacaranda health centre yard, but no funding.
We have received donated a pump, and the remaining cost is $1,450.
It will serve about 529 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.
Funds are spent only on materials, permits and safety equipment; all labor is volunteered.
Where the $1,450 goes:
• Materials: $990
• Permits and inspections: $160
• Safety equipment and signage: $50
• Tools hire and delivery: $250
I hope life is good to you.
- Łukasz

You're not alone, Łukasz. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I went through something like this 5 years ago and strangers helped me out
Thinking of you and your family, Łukasz. Looking forward to the next update. Greetings from Madrid!
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Łukasz.
Sure. The biggest one is materials, $990. The rest is in the list at the bottom of the post and I'll upload receipts as I pay each one. Thanks, that means a lot.
Praying for you. Projects like this are what make a place worth living in. Greetings from Eindhoven
Thinking of you and your family, Łukasz. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. God bless.
wishing you peace. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Thinking of Radom.
Hope things get better soon. Looking forward to the next update. Greetings from Savar.
keep going. This could happen to any of us. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected.
Stay strong, Łukasz. Looking forward to the next update. Sent it to 10 people at work.
