The old Harmony bus depot needs a youth football pitch - Céline's neighborhood project
We have the land, the volunteers and the plan for a youth football pitch - we need $2,750 for materials.

For ten years the neighborhood has asked for a youth football pitch. This year a group of 22 volunteers, including a group of teenagers, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for the old Harmony bus depot, but no funding.
We have received donated paint, and the remaining cost is $2,750.
It will serve about 334 people, including young people who have nowhere safe to play. 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.
Funds are spent only on materials, permits and safety equipment; all labor is volunteered.
Where the $2,750 goes:
• Materials: $1,800
• Permits and inspections: $290
• Safety equipment and signage: $360
• Tools hire and delivery: $300
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

wishing you peace, Céline. Hope the build day goes well, wish I lived closer. Greetings from Karlsruhe.
So sorry you're going through this, Céline. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I have a 14 year old who wants to send good wishes too. All the best.
You're not alone, Céline. Shared this with my family. Put this on a community board in Lapu-Lapu this morning!
a colleague of mine might know someone for this in Occitanie. I'll ask around and let you know.
