The Cedar canal has been used as an informal dump for years. This June, 106 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 138 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. We'll post planting day photos and a count of every sapling planted. Where the $1,750 goes: • Waste removal and skip hire: $690 • Native saplings and stakes: $480 • Tools and protective gear: $580 Every share and every dollar helps. - Savannah

  • sending good thoughts, Savannah. Looking forward to the next update. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. All the best!

    • Sending strength. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Take care.

        is there anything that isn't money that would help Savannah?

        • Take care. This could happen to any of us. I went through something like this 8 years ago and strangers helped me out. God bless.

          • Rooting for you, Savannah. Projects like this are what make a place worth living in. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double

            • is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Savannah.

              • rooting for you. 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. Greetings from Kawasaki

                • Thinking of you and your family, Savannah. I hope things turn around soon. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Greetings from Ikeja.

                  • I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I'll check back for the next update. Greetings from Bacolod.

                    • Best of luck, Savannah. Great idea, hope you get there. Sent it to 26 people at work.
