ZINE ORDERS CLOSED!
Thank you so much for making this zine such a success! Your kind donations and support have made a world of difference to countless disaster victims. You are all truly miraculous!Â
Zine orders are now closed. We will no longer be accepting donations on behalf of the zine.
While the zine is over, we urge you to consider donating to one of the fantastic charities below if you get the chance. No zine, no prize, no reward we could give you compares with the knowledge that you took action to help those in need.Â
Thank you!

Hurricanes, earthquakes, flooding, mud slides, fires: How can I donate?
Due to the immediate and massive need around the globe, we ask that you donate as soon as possible. Please give whatever you can, even if itâs small. If everyone in the US alone donated a single penny, we could raise over 300 million dollars.Â
We currently have three donation tiers:
$0.01 or more: full zine featuring more than 80 creators
$5.00 or more: the zine, plus MAHR (80+ pgs) when the zine comes out
$10.00 or more: the zine, plus access to MAHRÂ right away
Hereâs how to donate (aka pre-order your zine):
1. Select any reputable charity that is actively providing disaster relief.Â
Here is a list of top-scoring charities as vetted by Charity Navigator (a charity-grading organization). They are all rated 4 stars, the highest grade that Charity Navigator awards. Please know that these are not personal opinions, but merely a collection of data from Charity Navigator.Â
Direct Relief
International Relief Teams
World Medical Relief
Heart to Heart International
Doctors Without Borders
International Medical Corps (currently focused on Mexico & PR)
 ******* UPDATE -- IF YOUâD LIKE TO DONATE TO IRAN/IRAQ US sanctions limit the ability of Americans to donate. Here are some great charities that avoid those sanctions, provide international relief, and are currently doing active campaigns to send aid to Iran and Iraq:  *******
Children of Persia
Moms Against Poverty
Relief International
Child Foundation
While the Red Cross is usually the go-to in situations like this, it is not a 4-star rated charity, and suffered serious scandals during the Haiti disaster last year. Please consider donating to a 4-star charity (like one listed above) instead. If you prefer to support a local charity (not listed here), thatâs fine! Our focus is helping those in crisis, not on a particular organization. If you want to double check before you donate, feel free to message us and ask.Â
2. If you can, please mark your donation to go into the âgeneral fundâ. Because there are so many victims all over the globe, we prefer that you mark your donation as âgeneral fundâ, âuse my donation where itâs most neededâ, âno specificationâ, etc. (each organization uses different wording). By not earmarking your donation to a specific disaster/region, you allow the charity to send aid more quickly to those in need.
3. Dedicate your donation to the zine. If there is an option to dedicate your donation (usually âdedicated toâ or âin honor ofâ or âfor what organizationâ), please write in âML Disaster Relief Zineâ. If there is no space for you to write this in, donât worry about it.
4. Get your receipt ready. After you donate, you will receive a confirmation email/receipt. Please keep this email, as it will serve as your proof of purchase. Please crop/block/blur out any sensitive personal information (last name, credit card number, etc.).Â
5. Email us your receipt. Send your receipt to [email protected] . Please note that we will use this email to send you the zine when itâs finished, so make sure to add us to contacts to keep us out of the spam folder.
If you have any questions, please feel free to Ask.
PS: It goes without saying, but please donât try to falsify receipts. The goal of this zine is to raise money to help people who are currently without homes, schools, roads, electricity, and even essentials like food, water, and medical care. Fake receipts only hurt victims who have already been tragically affected by these disasters. Please donât let them down; weâre counting on you to be Miraculous!
