Our goal is to use our booktok platforms and/or online presence to garner support, solidarity, and awareness, and raise monetary donations to help the people who have been affected by one of the largest natural disasters Maui has seen in recent history.

 The Maui Relief Effort Read-A-Thon will start August 14th-28th(participants can join at any time during the timeframe). We will be encouraging readers to donate to trusted local organizations recommended to us by people on the ground, on Maui, as well as those from Hawaii.

Please note - We realize the Read-A-Thon is super soon. This is because many cannot wait for help. Government aid often takes days, and certain criteria have to be met to receive assistance. Many had to flee quickly to survive with their lives. However, not everyone carries vital paperwork on their person. Other losses like key documents, government identification, insurance, registration, etc are not to be overlooked. We are doing our best to heed the suggestions and ideas of Maui people and aid them whenever and wherever possible.
