The Unity riverbank has been used as an informal dump for years. This March, 78 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 116 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 $200 goes:
• Tools and protective gear: $60
• Waste removal and skip hire: $85
• Signage and educational materials: $55
Thanks for reading all this.

Sending strength. This could happen to any of us. I'm in social work myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you.
sending good thoughts, Vanessa. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Wish I lived closer to New Delhi so I could bring a meal. God bless.
Praying for you. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My brother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Blessings.
