Let's Get It Done
I've been quiet about our progress with making magic with Center for Victims' patio lately. It's not because we've reached our goal by any means; it's because when the internet starts with the ugly and mean, I tend to dump cute and happy into this space. That's often been my pattern, and probably always will be.
That said, I got all sorts of crazy and radical over the past few days and muted and unfollowed and hid all sorts of people. While I firmly believe you have to listen to both sides of an issue to figure out where you should stand, I CAN'T EVEN RIGHT NOW. So much ugly. Sooooo much. Except not! Because I cleaned it all up!
So now that my Twitter feed and my Facebook feed are sunshine and rainbows, let's talk status!
First things first, the doors are getting painted ... Admirality. With some bright pops of color from the plants and such, I think it's going to be fantastic. Even better, I think we may just have some volunteers who will take care of doing the actual painting (No worries, volunteers, we are waiting until the weather is conducive to paint drying, humans moving, and such).
Second things next, we've got the benches under control. Which, YESSSSSS.
That leaves the patio.
I still need some help there. Anybody want to own their own square foot of patio space? Toss $3 bucks over here. That will take care of the things we need to install it and the actual patio square.
Want to own more than one square foot? That's fantastic! Click the little button and claim your stake. Some day that little spot will be the place where a kid draws with sidewalk chalk, jumps rope, rides a scooter, or just stands quietly as they work through the mental gymnastics required to find a better path in life.
As for all of you who have already helped, Mila has something to say.
Let's do this, y'all. Let's get it all set up before we turn the page to August.
