The Harmony wetland has been used as an informal dump for years. This August, 92 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 62 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 $2,250 goes:
• Native saplings and stakes: $1,250
• Waste removal and skip hire: $640
• Tools and protective gear: $360

Hang in there, Josefa. Hope you get there. All the best.
Projects like this are what make a place worth living in. Love from Athens.
Sending good thoughts, Josefa. I hope things turn around soon. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Take care.
Keep going, Josefa. Hope you get there. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. All the best.
Hope you get there. After 27 years in farming I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Take care.
shared it with a few friends. We're a small family in Quezon City but we're thinking of you.
You're not alone, Josefa. I hope things turn around soon. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money.
