More details
I'm 11 years old and I think my road would be a happier and more friendly place if we knew each other. My motto is 'Our best resource is each other' and I am sure that if we communicate with each other, we'll be able to help each other out in all sorts of ways! My site is www.freewebs.com/rosslyn-ave but I need funding for a proper domain name and a proper host so I can offer more services, information and activities.

Comments on this pledge

• I can't really contribute cash Jake, but as a copywriter for websites, will be delighted to offer any help with the wording if required. I think this is an exceptional idea and wish you success.
  
  I propsed a campaign to Age Concern once called 'Living Next Door To Alice' that suggested neighbours get to know eachother and work out a rota for popping in and visiting the vulnerable on their street ie: the elderly, young mums etc. - I think most people would be more than willing to spare a little time but just don't know where to start or how to get over the awkwardness of introductions and first encounters.
  
  You are a remarkable person Jake.
  Namaste,
  Tina Louise
