For ten years the neighborhood has asked for a youth football pitch. This year a group of 29 volunteers, including a group of teenagers, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for the Jacaranda vacant lot, but no funding. We have received donated paint, and the remaining cost is $3,100. It will serve about 389 people, including young people who have nowhere safe to play. 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. Funds are spent only on materials, permits and safety equipment; all labor is volunteered. Where the $3,100 goes: • Materials: $2,050 • Permits and inspections: $210 • Safety equipment and signage: $350 • Tools hire and delivery: $490 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.
