The old Liberty bus depot needs a sensory garden for children with autism - Michael's neighborhood project
Volunteers in Lagos are raising $100 for a sensory garden for children with autism at the old Liberty bus depot.
🇳🇬 Lagos, Lagos, Nigeria357 views
For ten years the neighborhood has asked for a sensory garden for children with autism. This year a group of 18 volunteers, including the neighborhood football club, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for the old Liberty bus depot, but no funding.
We have received donated timber, and the remaining cost is $100.
It will serve about 203 people, including elderly neighbors living alone. We'll hold a build day in January 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 $100 goes:
• Permits and inspections: $15
• Safety equipment and signage: $40
• Tools hire and delivery: $45
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

Praying for you, Michael. Hope you get there. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like.
Stay strong, Michael. This could happen to any of us. Thinking of Lagos.
Good luck, Michael. Your post was clear and honest. I'm in hospitality myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Thinking of Lagos.
