Union Creek has been used as an informal dump for years. This June, 99 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 98 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. Funds buy saplings, gloves, bags, hire of a skip, and signage. Where the $1,100 goes: • Native saplings and stakes: $620 • Waste removal and skip hire: $290 • Tools and protective gear: $190 I hope life is good to you.

  • Hope it all works out, Zahra. Shared it with a few friends. Wish I lived closer to Marseille so I could bring a meal. God bless.

    • Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My neighbor in San Diego donated after I showed her your page.

      • Keep going. Hope the build day goes well, wish I lived closer. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Love from Augsburg.

        • stay strong, Zahra. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes.
