The old Union bus depot needs a playground - Elena's neighborhood project
Volunteers in Naples are raising $2,650 for a playground at the old Union bus depot.
🇮🇹 Italy2,251 views
For five years the neighborhood has asked for a playground. This year a group of 9 volunteers, including two retired carpenters, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for the old Union bus depot, but no funding.
We have received donated volunteer hours worth about $590, and the remaining cost is $2,650.
It will serve about 161 people, including local farmers and market traders. We'll hold a build day in July 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 $2,650 goes:
• Safety equipment and signage: $185
• Permits and inspections: $75
• Materials: $2,390
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

Keep going, Elena. This could happen to any of us. My husband and I read this together. Take care.
