The Unity wetland has been used as an informal dump for years. This April, 47 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 98 bags in a single morning. Now we want to restore it for good. We have a plan agreed with the district council, 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 $1,300 goes: • Signage and educational materials: $145 • Tools and protective gear: $290 • Native saplings and stakes: $865 Thanks for reading all this. - Enrique

  • Hang in there, Enrique. This could happen to any of us. We're a small family in León but we're thinking of you. Love from León.

    • Projects like this are what make a place worth living in. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Blessings.

      • Stay strong, Enrique. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day.

        • More neighborhoods should do this. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Thinking of Málaga.

          • Thanks for sharing this, Enrique. Great idea, hope you get there. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too

            • Hope things get better soon, Enrique. Great idea, hope you get there

              • Best of luck, Enrique. Shared it with a few friends. I hope July is when things finally get easier.

                • Hope it all works out, Enrique. Great idea, hope you get there. Please keep us posted. Thinking of Málaga!

                  • Gave what I could, wish it was more. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Love from Setagaya.
