Radom
Union Creek has been used as an informal dump for years. This August, 70 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 73 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 $1,050 goes: • Native saplings and stakes: $750 • Signage and educational materials: $105 • Tools and protective gear: $195 With deep gratitude, Natalia

  • Wishing you peace, Natalia. Shared this with my family. Don't give up. Blessings

    • wishing you peace, Natalia. More neighborhoods should do this. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Blessings

      • Hope it all works out, Natalia. It takes guts to ask. Well done. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Take care!

          Hope this works out for you. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Greetings from San Diego!

          • So sorry you're going through this, Natalia. Hope the build day goes well, wish I lived closer. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too.

            • Best of luck. Projects like this are what make a place worth living in. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Take care
