The old Lotus bus depot needs a skate park - Moritz's neighborhood project
Volunteers in Hamburg are raising $1,900 for a skate park at the old Lotus bus depot.
🇩🇪 Hamburg, Germany3,294 views
For three years the neighborhood has asked for a skate park. This year a group of 30 volunteers, including a retired civil engineer, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for the old Lotus bus depot, but no funding.
We have received donated soil and plants, and the remaining cost is $1,900.
It will serve about 281 people, including young people who have nowhere safe to play. 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.
All purchases will be made by two volunteers and logged publicly. Surplus funds will go to maintenance.
Where the $1,900 goes:
• Materials: $1,200
• Permits and inspections: $85
• Safety equipment and signage: $140
• Tools hire and delivery: $475
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

Is there anything that isn't money that would help Moritz?
Thank you. If you're in Hamburg I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. I'll keep the page updated.
Good luck, Moritz. I hope things turn around soon. After 18 years in accounting I know how hard it is to ask for anything. Take care.
Hope it all works out. I hope things turn around soon. Put this on a community board in Accra this morning. Love from Accra.
Shared it with a few friends. After 28 years in hospitality I know how hard it's to ask for anything!
