The Harmony canal has been used as an informal dump for years. This October, 37 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 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.
Funds buy saplings, gloves, bags, hire of a skip, and signage.
Where the $250 goes:
• Tools and protective gear: $65
• Native saplings and stakes: $180
• Signage and educational materials: $5
I hope life is good to you.

Keep going, Myra. Hope you get there. I went through something like this 6 years ago and strangers helped me out. Love from Mangaluru.
praying for you. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Blessings
