We have the land, the volunteers and the plan for a rainwater harvesting system - we need $3,650 for materials.

For twelve years the neighborhood has asked for a rainwater harvesting system. This year a group of 9 volunteers, including a group of teenagers, 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 $3,650. It will serve about 574 people, including school children and their families. We'll hold a build day in October 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 $3,650 goes: • Safety equipment and signage: $390 • Tools hire and delivery: $260 • Materials: $3,000 I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support. - Everett

      Wishing you peace, Everett. Hope you get there. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. All the best.

          Best of luck. Shared this with my family. I went through something like this 14 years ago and strangers helped me out. Thinking of Manchester.
