Los Angeles generates over 11 million tons of trash every year, most of it ending up in landfills that release methane and accelerate climate change. But beyond the numbers, the impact is felt in our streets: illegal dumping has surged by 450% in the last decade, turning sidewalks into health hazards. Families in under-resourced neighborhoods face the worst of it, living among piles of trash that attract pests, spread disease, and strip away dignity. This is not just waste. It’s inequality made visible, and it demands long-term, sustainable action.

I hope and pray that God would bless you with a team of helpers to clean up this town and it grows and becomes a way to bless you back financially. I also pray that others will do what they are called to do to bless others.
