Rohini
The Maple riverbank has been used as an informal dump for years. This May, 67 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 139 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: $260 • Waste removal and skip hire: $125 • Tools and protective gear: $65 With deep gratitude, Mohammad

        Hang in there, Mohammad. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Thinking of Rohini
