Jacaranda Beach has been used as an informal dump for years. This August, 66 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 128 bags in a single morning. Now we want to restore it for good.
We have a plan agreed with the district council, including native species selected by a local botanist.
The area floods more each year, and fish have returned for the first time in a decade after our first cleanup. Restoring it will protect homes and bring back shade.
All the labor is volunteered. We just need materials.
We'll post planting day photos and a count of every sapling planted.
Where the $1,000 goes:
• Waste removal and skip hire: $390
• Tools and protective gear: $380
• Signage and educational materials: $230
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

Hope it all works out. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My husband and I read this together. God bless.
Sending strength, Sophie. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. All the best.
Rooting for you, Sophie. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. God bless.
Thinking of you and your family. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Wish I lived closer to Envigado so I could bring a meal. God bless.
