The Freedom riverbank has been used as an informal dump for years. This July, 69 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 89 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.
Funds buy saplings, gloves, bags, hire of a skip, and signage.
Where the $350 goes:
• Tools and protective gear: $35
• Waste removal and skip hire: $130
• Native saplings and stakes: $185
Thanks for being kind about this.

Take care, Hesti. This could happen to any of us
Thinking of you and your family, Hesti. Looking forward to the next update. Don't give up. God bless.
Your post was clear and honest. I have a 17 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Take care.
Wishing you peace, Hesti. Hope the build day goes well, wish I lived closer. Blessings.
Hope things get better soon. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. We're a small family in Marseille but we're thinking of you. Love from Marseille.
