• 
  What did he do to get support?
  

Tackling the Trash But Chad’s money was disappearing fast. Food, gasoline for his boat, landfill charges, and film costs were gobbling up his resources. He wondered if others would help support his cleanup. First Chad talked to government agencies like the National Fish and Wildlife Service and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. While happy about his work, they didn’t have much money to donate. So Chad called area businesses. He explained about growing up beside the river, the mess it had become, and his determination to clean it up. Most companies wouldn’t help either. But finally one company decided to lend a hand. Chad got his first small grant and the encouragement he needed to find others to help as well. Chad began visiting other companies in person and found that his careful record keeping paid off. People couldn’t help being impressed by his enthusiasm, or by the pictures of the junk he’d already hauled away. The next year, Chad received enough money to finish his summer’s work with several volunteers to help him. In two years he raised enough money to buy two more boats and hire five helpers for the next summer.
