Plant 4,750 native trees around the Liberty riverbank in Thủ Đức
A neighborhood-led restoration of the Liberty riverbank needs $300 for saplings and equipment.

The Liberty riverbank has been used as an informal dump for years. This March, 70 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 164 bags in a single morning. Now we want to restore it for good.
We have a plan agreed with the local forestry office, 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 $300 goes:
• Waste removal and skip hire: $60
• Native saplings and stakes: $140
• Tools and protective gear: $100
Thank you for reading my story.

Sending strength. I hope things turn around soon. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Greetings from Salerno.

Hope things get better soon. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Love from Yonkers
Wishing you peace, Hùng. Shared this with my family. I went through something like this 14 years ago and strangers helped me out. Blessings!
