The Sycamore canal has been used as an informal dump for years. This May, 87 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 46 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. We'll post planting day photos and a count of every sapling planted. Where the $1,450 goes: • Signage and educational materials: $120 • Tools and protective gear: $460 • Waste removal and skip hire: $870 Thanks for being kind about this.

    Thinking of you and your family. Shared it with a few friends. After 18 years in social work I know how hard it's to ask for anything.

      Shared it with a few friends. After 9 years in construction I know how hard it's to ask for anything.

        Wishing you the best. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Take care.

            Praying for you, Madelyn. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Love from Birmingham.
