We have the land, the volunteers and the plan for a repair café workshop - we need $3,200 for materials.

For ten years the neighborhood has asked for a repair café workshop. This year a group of 28 volunteers, including a group of teenagers, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for the Lotus community hall, but no funding.
We have received donated a pump, and the remaining cost is $3,200.
It will serve about 368 people, including school children and their families. We'll hold a build day in February 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 $3,200 goes:
• Materials: $2,150
• Permits and inspections: $310
• Safety equipment and signage: $200
• Tools hire and delivery: $540
If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

Stay strong, Imelda. Hope this works out for you. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Greetings from New York.
is there anything that isn't money that would help Imelda?
Keep going, Imelda. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Sent it to 13 people at work. God bless.
