Anywhere in the world750 views
The Acacia wetland has been used as an informal dump for years. This September, 64 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 119 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.
We'll post planting day photos and a count of every sapling planted.
Where the $350 goes:
• Waste removal and skip hire: $115
• Native saplings and stakes: $180
• Tools and protective gear: $55
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

Any update on how things are going in 6th of October City?
You're not alone. More neighborhoods should do this. Thinking of 6th of October City
Take care, Hala. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Put this on a community board in Manila this morning. Blessings.
wishing you peace, Hala. I hope things turn around soon
Hope it all works out. I hope things turn around soon. We're a small family in Hồ Chí Minh City but we're thinking of you. All the best.
is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Hala!
Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. waste removal and skip hire comes first ($115) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid.
Gave what I could, wish it was more. It's not much but it's yours. Take care
Hope it all works out, Hala. Shared this with my family.
Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Love from Medina

hope it all works out, Hala. Looking forward to the next update. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry.
Best of luck. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day.
