Since it's watermelon season!
My grandfather used to grow watermelons, among other things, and he told me about most of this, especially the orange spot. Those are the absolute best!
There are more ways to help than just donations. Listen to locals, share their stories and support them directly.
Hawaii's history is full of the government, military, and U.S. investors betraying Hawaii's trust and desecrating our culture. TMT and Red Hill (Navy poisons drinking water) are just recent examples.
Another reason you should support locals directly is because some organizations like Red Cross have been treating locals like shit. Generally being uncaring or just standing around acting like security guards.
Personally I'd like to be fundraising for Maui Strong or Maui Mutual Aid but that's not an option on Twitch or Tiltify and I dont want to handle the donation money directly.
So for now I'm fundraising for Direct Relief since they aren't gonna send haole volunteers and instead supply and support locals.
