Móstoles
The Cedar canal has been used as an informal dump for years. This July, 34 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 178 bags in a single morning. Now we want to restore it for good. We have a plan agreed with the local forestry office, 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. We'll post planting day photos and a count of every sapling planted. Where the $1,500 goes: • Native saplings and stakes: $700 • Tools and protective gear: $155 • Waste removal and skip hire: $450 • Signage and educational materials: $195 Glad we found this place. - Pilar

  1. Update from Móstoles: the plan for signage and educational materials is now scheduled. We're at 63% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.

  2. Thank you all. We're at 44% now ($664). I'm honestly stunned. the first invoice got paid this week.

          You're not alone, Pilar. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Take care.

          • Janet W. Hudson

            stay strong, Pilar. Your post was clear and honest. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too.

            • Lungile L. Mokoena

              Rooting for you. Your post was clear and honest. My neighbor in Saket donated after I showed her your page. Thinking of Móstoles.

                  Wishing you the best, Pilar. Hope this works out for you. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry.
