Odesa
Harmony Creek has been used as an informal dump for years. This July, 91 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 115 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 $400 goes: • Native saplings and stakes: $140 • Tools and protective gear: $135 • Waste removal and skip hire: $120 • Signage and educational materials: $5 With deep gratitude, Alina

              Sure. The biggest one is native saplings and stakes, $140. The rest is in the list at the bottom of the post and I'll upload receipts as I pay each one.

                    hang in there, Alina. Shared this with my family. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry.

                    • Hope you get there. My neighbor in Nakuru donated after I showed her your page. All the best.
