The Unity hillside has been used as an informal dump for years. This August, 48 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 117 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.
We'll post planting day photos and a count of every sapling planted.
Where the $1,250 goes:
• Tools and protective gear: $310
• Native saplings and stakes: $800
• Signage and educational materials: $140
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Sachiko.
Tools and protective gear is $310 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. It helps to be asked.
Sending love, Sachiko. Hope the build day goes well, wish I lived closer. After 9 years in nursing I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Greetings from Dnipro
Stay strong, Sachiko. I hope things turn around soon. My husband and I read this together. God bless!
Praying for you, Sachiko. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Greetings from Seoul
Sending strength, Sachiko. Projects like this are what make a place worth living in. Don't be hard on yourself for asking.
Wishing you peace, Sachiko. More neighborhoods should do this. Love from Jakarta
