Lotus Beach has been used as an informal dump for years. This August, 86 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 190 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 $2,600 goes: • Native saplings and stakes: $1,350 • Tools and protective gear: $390 • Waste removal and skip hire: $580 • Signage and educational materials: $280 With deep gratitude, Rocío

    Exactly what I needed

    I was going through a tough time and this person's support was invaluable. They didn't judge, just helped. That kind of genuine compassion is rare these days.

  • Thinking of you and your family, Rocío. Shared this with my family. Blessings

    • Best of luck, Rocío. More neighborhoods should do this. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Blessings

      • hope this works out for you. I have a 6 year old who wants to send good wishes too. God bless.

        • So sorry you're going through this. Projects like this are what make a place worth living in. We're a small family in Anaheim but we're thinking of you. Greetings from Anaheim.

          • Hope you get there. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Love from Chattanooga

            • Thinking of you and your family, Rocío. Projects like this are what make a place worth living in. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Take care.
