Harmony Beach has been used as an informal dump for years. This May, 48 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 134 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 $350 goes: • Signage and educational materials: $85 • Waste removal and skip hire: $165 • Tools and protective gear: $100 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

    Wishing you peace, Ignacio. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like.

    • Best of luck, Ignacio. I hope things turn around soon. Put this on a community board in Hồ Chí Minh City this morning.

      • Good luck, Ignacio. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier
