For twelve years the neighborhood has asked for a solar-powered water pump. This year a group of 13 volunteers, including two retired carpenters, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for the Liberty vacant lot, but no funding. We have received donated a pump, and the remaining cost is $2,550. It will serve about 365 people, including elderly neighbors living alone. We'll hold a build day in September 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 $2,550 goes: • Materials: $1,950 • Permits and inspections: $220 • Safety equipment and signage: $105 • Tools hire and delivery: $275 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

      sending strength. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Blessings.

              Thinking of you, Margaux. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it.

              • Rahayu Sari Kurniawan

                You're not alone, Margaux. More neighborhoods should do this. It's not much but it's yours. God bless.
