Parramatta
The Liberty riverbank has been used as an informal dump for years. This August, 112 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 173 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 $1,750 goes: • Tools and protective gear: $300 • Native saplings and stakes: $1,200 • Signage and educational materials: $250 I hope life is good to you. - Annabelle

  • shared this with my family. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Love from Halifax.

    • Hope it all works out, Annabelle. Shared this with my family

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

          Tools and protective gear is $300 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. Good question.

      • Best of luck. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. We're a small family in Rio de Janeiro but we're thinking of you. All the best

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

              Sharing the link is the biggest thing. And if you know anything about tools and protective gear, advice is welcome too. Thanks for asking.

            • Hope things get better soon, Annabelle. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. God bless.

              • How is Annabelle doing now?

                  • Praying for you, Annabelle. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Take care.

                      • Hang in there, Annabelle. It takes guts to ask. Well done. After 12 years in teaching I know how hard it's to ask for anything.

                        • Hang in there, Annabelle. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Thinking of Parramatta

                            • Keep going. Looking forward to the next update. Thinking of Parramatta.
