Unity Beach has been used as an informal dump for years. This August, 32 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 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 $1,500 goes:
• Native saplings and stakes: $660
• Tools and protective gear: $410
• Waste removal and skip hire: $220
• Signage and educational materials: $210
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

How is Daniela doing now?
Sending good thoughts. More neighborhoods should do this. God bless.
I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend
good luck, Daniela. Hope the build day goes well, wish I lived closer. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Blessings
projects like this are what make a place worth living in. My husband and I read this together. Take care.
Stay strong, Daniela. Your post was clear and honest. Take care.
Sending love, Daniela. It takes guts to ask. Well done. We're a small family in Cần Thơ but we're thinking of you.
