Help us clean and replant the Maple riverbank before the August planting window closes.

Brasília
The Maple riverbank has been used as an informal dump for years. This April, 119 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 103 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 $650 goes: • Signage and educational materials: $70 • Waste removal and skip hire: $220 • Native saplings and stakes: $360 I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

      Sending strength. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. After 18 years in customer support I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Blessings

        Praying for you. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. God bless!
