Chochu Local - Island BBQ

07/18/2026

Chochu Local T-Shirts, restocked! Just in time for another typhoon relief aid fundraiser 😢

All proceeds from sales of our shirts, earrings, and wooden phone stands by KOKO JOY Designs will be sent to relief aid. Purchase them directly from our cart. 🙏🏾

11 weeks after Typhoon Sinlaku hit the the Marianas, a category 5 storm hit. Supertyphoon Bavi brought destruction, primarily and especially, to Rota (aka Luta). Just north of Guam, Rota is a small island with a significantly smaller population and infrastructure. They could use our help.

If you’d like to make direct donations, consider doing so to organizations like Micronesia Climate Change Alliance fromlutaforluta Ayuda Foundation (Please feel free to comment any other organizations directly assisting Rota) 🇲🇵🫶🏾

Si Yu’us ma’åse 🙏🏾 Saina ma’åse

❤️ To Luta, with love from the PNW
