The Harmony canal has been used as an informal dump for years. This August, 70 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 134 bags in a single morning. Now we want to restore it for good.
We have a plan agreed with the city parks department, 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 $2,700 goes:
• Native saplings and stakes: $1,300
• Tools and protective gear: $400
• Waste removal and skip hire: $810
• Signage and educational materials: $190
Thank you for reading my story.

wishing you the best, Dinesh. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. All the best.
Hope this works out for you. Wish I lived closer to Istanbul so I could bring a meal. Blessings
Rooting for you, Dinesh. Shared this with my family. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust
praying for you, Dinesh. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Blessings
More neighborhoods should do this. My neighbor in Hyderabad donated after I showed her your page. Blessings.
