Clean streams for Caloocan: restoring the Freedom riverbank
Help us clean and replant the Freedom riverbank before the April planting window closes.

The Freedom riverbank has been used as an informal dump for years. This December, 70 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 77 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 $450 goes:
• Native saplings and stakes: $180
• Tools and protective gear: $115
• Waste removal and skip hire: $130
• Signage and educational materials: $25
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Your post was clear and honest. Put this on a community board in Surakarta this morning. All the best.
Best of luck, Cris. This could happen to any of us. I'm in customer support myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. God bless.
