Hello everybody!
I´m glad that you found my fundraising project.
At first I want to tell you, that i´m not in a current need. But I have a big dream.
I want to have a Garden. A happy-place, a small paradise for me and my son.
But first let me tell you something about us.
I am a 32 years old single mother of a 13 years old son. I work as a laboratory assistant in a medical laboratory. I earn enough to pay rent buy foods and clothes but not much more. The last time we went on holidays is about 6 years ago. We dont have much familiy and they cant help financially.
I was born and raised in Hamburg, Germany in a small flat, and my son also. We don`t even have a balcony. There`s concrete and cars everywhere around us. Since I was a child I wish to have a garden. A place, where I can spend my free time, where my son can play football (soccer) and where i can grow vegetables and fruits and herbs and flowers.
A few months ago i rented an allotment or community garden. I dont have to pay much rent, about 240 € per year. In Germany we call it "Kleingarten", which means "small garden". In fact it is 600qm piece of ground. You can see on the picture that it isn´t a garden at all. But you can´t imagine how much I love this place. In my mind I know how it will look like. I was a bit silly when I thougt it wouldn`t cost much to build a garden.
I realized, how expensive it is. You need so much things to build a garden. And the most expensive thing is the blockhouse. If I don`t build a blockhouse (minimum 12qm) until April 2016 they will take away our happy-place. Because it is a requirement to build it within two years otherwise they will cancel the contract. The house will also be a place where we can sleep in, so we can spend our weekends and holidays in the garden.I try to save money for the house, but I also have to build the garden, there must be a path patches, fences, tools, chairs, a table and don´t forget about the seeds and flowers. Everything costs a lot of money. I already trimmed the ground and resowed grass (for my Son to play soccer). And i built one patch and a raised bed where i will start to grow vegetables next spring.
Thats where you come in!
I ask you to raise any amount of money. Every single Dollar or Euro will mean the world for me and will bring me a step closer to our Paradise Garden!
Now let me tell you about the projects and actual prices: If you Raise enough money, I will build the following things. If I won´t get enough money for the "bigger" Projects below, I will buy flowers and seeds. I will upload pictures of every project, so that you can share the happiness with us.
