The Sycamore community hall needs a playground - Tuhin's neighborhood project
We have the land, the volunteers and the plan for a playground - we need $250 for materials.

For twelve years the neighborhood has asked for a playground. This year a group of 22 volunteers, including two retired carpenters, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for the Sycamore community hall, but no funding.
We have received donated timber, and the remaining cost is $250.
It will serve about 491 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.
Funds are spent only on materials, permits and safety equipment; all labor is volunteered.
Where the $250 goes:
• Materials: $150
• Permits and inspections: $40
• Safety equipment and signage: $20
• Tools hire and delivery: $40
Thanks for being kind about this.

Take care. Hope this works out for you. After 10 years in construction I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Love from Leeds.
Thinking of you, Tuhin. This could happen to any of us. Sent it to 17 people at work
keep going, Tuhin. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. God bless
take care, Tuhin. Shared it with a few friends. My brother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Take care.
Rooting for you, Tuhin. It takes guts to ask. Well done. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Thinking of Gazipur.

Hope things get better soon, Tuhin. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I went through something like this 3 years ago and strangers helped me out!
