Where you can donate to help Maui, Hawaii
this article has places listed that you can donate to, but i’ll also put direct links to some of these places in this post:
my family is based in Oahu, but i consider all the islands my home even though i physically haven’t stepped foot on them before. seeing all the homes and history and memories being lost in this hurts.
if you are unable to donate, don’t feel guilty—doing things like spreading the word and making people aware of the situation helps as well. thank you for whatever you can do! mahalo
UPDATE: removed Maui Mutual Aid Fund for now because upon further research using the charity checking sites provided by this gov site, it doesn’t appear in results unlike the others listed. so i advise caution for now if you decide to donate there! they may still be legitimate, but i want to exercise caution.
Hope It’s all right to add a few more to the list.
University of Hawaii Foundation : Provides help to students, staff, and faculty the UHMC campus (especially when the Fall semester is starting in two weeks)
‘Āina Momona : (goes towards the Hawaii Community Foundation Maui County Strong Fund)
Additional Lists (there is some overlapping to those already listed):
Mana Maoli
Hawaii News NowSome local Hawai’i artists are also donating 100% of their sales this week to Maui relief. (These are only the ones I know of offhand)
Geoffrey Siu (creator of Gentlemons/Pokema’ams and other original art)
JimmyxSparrow (Wide variety of art, does fusions of Pokemon and Hawaiian culture)
Laulima (Native Hawaiian flora and fauna pins and so on)Any help is definitely welcomed because many locals there are displaced and are now homeless. With cell service down back on Tuesday and were last told to stay in place, many had to quickly evacuate with just their clothes on their back and nothing else.
thank you so much for the additions!!! you did my work for me this evening.
here is also the twitter account of the Office of the Governor of Hawaii. there are updates and info being posted there. it’s where i found the article on checking legitimacy of fundraisers/charities.
Just letting you know!! But that white otter you reblogged a bit ago is AI art!
Oh stinky! Thanks for letting me know!
i love that scout wears a little headset with a mic because he’s supposed to be The Guy Who Does The Scouting which implies urgent radio communication, but no one else on the team has any kind of earpiece or walkie-talkie or anything. who the hell is he walkie-talking to
@two-trucks-having-s3x and @transgender-scout you guys are on the same brainwave and i concur.
