Hi Friends,

A rare, powerful earthquake struck Morocco, sending people racing from their beds into the streets and toppling buildings in mountainous villages and ancient cities not built to withstand such force. More than 2,000 people were killed, and the toll was expected to rise as rescuers struggled Saturday to reach hard-hit remote areas.

The magnitude 6.8 quake, the biggest to hit the North African country in 120 years, sent people fleeing their homes in terror and disbelief late Friday.

Survivors in the earthquake's epicenter and surrounding regions ( mainly in the remote villages in the high Atlas Mountains) lost everything they own.

I'm collecting clothing, shoes and sleeping bags to help as much as possible people in need in those regions.

The fund from your donation will cover 100% the cost of shipping to Morocco and other necessary supplies.

My plan:

1- The withdrawn donations.

The reason why I collected funds through GoFundMe is to cover the shipping costs of all winter clothing that I collected from Friends and from the Moroccan community in the US (Moroccans in the affected areas lost everything they own and I’m hoping to do my part to help and give back to my country of origine).

Once I have enough funds to cover the expensive cost of ship this large shipment, I’m going to ship everything to Morocco, then I’ll fly to Morocco and with the help of my local friends and volunteers I will deliver directly to the affected families in the high Atlas Mountains where people got hit the most by the Earthquake.

2- I’ll be in charge of buying supplies from Morocco and deliver them directly with the winter clothing to people in need.

Thank you all for your support!
