For eight years the neighborhood has asked for a youth football pitch. This year a group of 29 volunteers, including the neighborhood football club, 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 $350. It will serve about 91 people, including school children and their families. We'll hold a build day in November 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 $350 goes: • Materials: $210 • Permits and inspections: $25 • Safety equipment and signage: $55 • Tools hire and delivery: $60 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself. - Abosede

        praying for you, Abosede. This could happen to any of us. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Thinking of Benin City

        • So sorry you're going through this. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. God bless.
