Unity Park needs a sensory garden for children with autism - Kendall's neighborhood project
We have the land, the volunteers and the plan for a sensory garden for children with autism - we need $4,350 for materials.

For twelve years the neighborhood has asked for a sensory garden for children with autism. This year a group of 28 volunteers, including a retired civil engineer, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for Unity Park, but no funding.
We have received donated volunteer hours worth about $760, and the remaining cost is $4,350.
It will serve about 463 people, including school children and their families. We'll hold a build day in August 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 $4,350 goes:
• Materials: $3,350
• Permits and inspections: $320
• Safety equipment and signage: $480
• Tools hire and delivery: $200
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Stay strong, Kendall. Shared it with a few friends. Wish I lived closer to Philadelphia so I could bring a meal. Thinking of Los Angeles
Rooting for you. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Thinking of Los Angeles.
Praying for you, Kendall. More neighborhoods should do this. Thinking of Los Angeles!
Best of luck, Kendall. Hope you get there. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Blessings.
Gave what I could, wish it was more. I'm in hospitality myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Greetings from Kano.
Hang in there. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Put this on a community board in Louisville this morning. All the best.
