The Baobab riverbank has been used as an informal dump for years. This July, 80 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 95 bags in a single morning. Now we want to restore it for good. We have a plan agreed with the municipal water board, 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 $2,150 goes: • Signage and educational materials: $85 • Native saplings and stakes: $1,600 • Waste removal and skip hire: $465 Thank you so much. - Megan

    praying for you, Megan. More neighborhoods should do this. I hope September is when things finally get easier. Greetings from Santa Rosa

      Sending strength. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. God bless

        praying for you, Megan. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Love from Gulu.

            Keep going, Megan. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. God bless!
