Pioneer Creek has been used as an informal dump for years. This August, 114 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 91 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.
Funds buy saplings, gloves, bags, hire of a skip, and signage.
Where the $250 goes:
• Native saplings and stakes: $200
• Tools and protective gear: $45
• Signage and educational materials: $5

Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Hiền.
Sure. The biggest one is native saplings and stakes, $200. The rest is in the list at the bottom of the post and I'll upload receipts as I pay each one. Good question.
Thanks for sharing this, Hiền. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Love from Parma.
Praying for you, Hiền. Projects like this are what make a place worth living in. All the best.
Hope things get better soon, Hiền. This could happen to any of us. God bless

So sorry you're going through this, Hiền. Hope the build day goes well, wish I lived closer. Thinking of Hanoi.

So sorry you're going through this, Hiền. Hope this works out for you. My sister had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.
reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Thinking of Hanoi.
Hope things get better soon. Great idea, hope you get there. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Thinking of Hanoi
hang in there. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Greetings from Pune.
More neighborhoods should do this. Put this on a community board in Los Angeles this morning. Thinking of Hanoi!
