Cigarette butts, a broken jungle gym, empty bottles floating in the pond—unfortunately, these are just a few things that were commonplace at Williams Park in Modesto, CA. Once the heart of the city, it had quickly gone from a place where kids could play together to a place they decidedly avoided. And for a while, it seemed like no one was going to do anything about it—that is, until a group of barely legal teens got together and pledged to clean it all up.
Barely out of high school but still totally of age, this group of teens transformed what was once a problem area for residents into a true testament to the power of human kindness. All it took was one busty brunette saying she wanted to make a difference, and from there it snowballed into an all-out effort to both clean the park and rebuild it entirely from scratch!
Whether they were pigtailed petites with daddy issues, all-natural Latinas, or twink teen boys, every single one of them showed up bright and early to make a difference. No matter their background, these barely legal teens united to clean up over 100 pounds of waste and install a new plastic play structure, and Modesto residents took notice:
Incredible!
So, to each and every hairless teeny that came out that day—we say a heartfelt thank you. Your efforts over the past 24 hours have truly inspired us and changed Modesto for the better. Faith in humanity restored!
