For over 20 years, I have been using my own money and countless hours cleaning up throughout my neighborhood. I tend to concentrate on neglected properties both public and private which are a blight on our community. The areas are , but not limited to; freeway overpasses, alleys, homeless encampments, public library, schools, nursing homes and behind our local fire station. I am no longer allowed to use the city’s garbage dumpster at Council District 10, so my task has become much harder. I have training in forestry, hazardous materials , cleaning up oil spills and a host of industrialized training. I am a member of the LAFD CERT team ( Community Emergency Response Team) and this is the neighborhood which I was born and raised since 1966 and this is the neighborhood that I wish to take my last breath in. My motto is “ Being Loyal to my Soil. “  We can all serve the same way and all donations are appreciated. Let’s make West Adams Great Again ‍
