The Unity community hall needs a skate park - Zhi's neighborhood project
Volunteers in El Paso are raising $4,050 for a skate park at the Unity community hall.
🇺🇸 El Paso, Texas, United States4,187 views
For ten years the neighborhood has asked for a skate park. This year a group of 16 volunteers, including local mothers, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for the Unity community hall, but no funding.
We have received donated a pump, and the remaining cost is $4,050.
It will serve about 155 people, including young people who have nowhere safe to play. 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.
All purchases will be made by two volunteers and logged publicly. Surplus funds will go to maintenance.
Where the $4,050 goes:
• Materials: $3,200
• Permits and inspections: $320
• Tools hire and delivery: $530
Glad we found this place.

sending good thoughts. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. After 21 years in hospitality I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
Praying for you. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Put this on a community board in San Francisco this morning. Love from San Francisco
More neighborhoods should do this. I went through something like this 6 years ago and strangers helped me out
