REACTION to BTS - BON VOYAGE S02 EP.01 & BEHIND CLIP
🕑 Added 2023-08-14 21:11:43 +0000 UTCAs explained in the beginning, I went back and forth on whether to postpone watching this or not given the devastation Hawai'i is currently experiencing. But I decided to use this as an opportunity to take advantage of our community here and share some links for those of you that may want to help, so here you go:
- Maui Strong Fund (organised by the Hawai'i Community Foundation, focused on rapid response & recovery within the community)
- Red Cross America (this has info, updates, a link to donate & other resources)
- Maui Humane Society (are in need of donations to help care for displaced pets in the wake of the fires. They also have an amazon wishlist linked toward the bottom of the page)
If anyone has any other resources they'd like to add, feel free to do so in the comments, these are just the ones that I saw the most and stuck out to me.
If you're unable to donate that's okay, not everyone has the means, but if you would consider at least sharing the links on your various socials that would be an amazing help as well.
Here's my own donation to the Maui Strong Fund which I'm literally only able to do because of your guys' support here:

Thanks for reading and watching,
- Kaia

And JK's snacks he bought were pita chips! The cinnamon sugar ones if I'm not mistaken based on the color of the label lol

To answer your question re: costs in HI, the cost of living is significantly higher there than in most other states. For instance, groceries are roughly double the cost of what you would find in the continental US ($6 for a loaf of bread in hawaii vs $2-3 in other states).

The realization i had when i literally stayed at this exact place for a school trip just a few months before they traveled to Hawaii. I could have SEEN them filming BV2 dammit😭

So excited for this season! They have a much better budget compared to season 1 so the boys get to have a lot more fun. Also hoping for the best for Hawaii. Just donated $10 for the Maui Humane Society!
I love that you are using your platform and reach to do what you can to help. Appreciate you.

Thank you so much for donating and for spreading awareness, it means a lot because I’m from Hawaii. A lot of people visit and talk about how they love Hawaii but don’t think about the Native Hawaiians or locals living there. It would be ideal if all the celebrities/millionaires provided support regardless of whether they own land on Maui or on other islands but if they cared about the locals they wouldn’t be buying our land and raising housing prices so 🤷🏻♀️ It’s unfortunate that we need to ask for donations from people who have significantly less than them, but if anyone has the means to help, it’s really really appreciated. We still don’t know how many lives were lost, and there are so many people with absolutely nothing. This isn’t really aimed towards you Kaia, but rather to anyone who may not know what’s going on. Again, I appreciate you and your donation so much Kaia, and I’m reminded of how much of an awesome person you are ❤️
