Morocco's Earthquake-Province of Al Haouz

Hi, my name is Saloua.

For those who don't know me, I am a wife and a mom of 2 beautiful children. I was born and raised in France from Moroccan parents and currently living in Richmond, BC .

I have two amazing siblings,2 awesome nieces and 1 awesome nephew and my parents live in Marrakech.

Friday September 8th at around 11 pm my country has been struck by a 7 magnitude Earthquake.

Majority of my family live in Marrakech and around the neighborhood town.

I am blessed that my parents are safe however many perished and many are still missing and injured.

My heart is shattered for my country and my people.

If you are not familiar with Morocco, here is a little history behind this beautiful country and its beautiful people:

Marrakech is known as the "red city" because of its building and ramparts made of beaten clay.

The Kutubiyya Mosque is the largest mosque in Marrakech. It was founded in 1147.

The epicenter of the Earthquake is near the town of Al Haouz.

More than 3000 people have lost their lives and more than 2500 are injured.

Many survivors are sleeping outside and have no food or home left.

My parents are currently helping setting up supplies delivery such as blankets, flashlights, candles, clean water, clothes, jackets, and food rations such as milk, canned food, bread, medicines ... from their own money however we are asking the people to help with anything they can.

Hospitals and Clinics are not able to function at high capacity due to their structural damage.

Blocked roads prevents ambulances from reaching severely affected communities.

I am pleading with you for any donations that could help the Moroccan people, or if you can't donate please i just want to ask if you can share this fundraiser to try and reach as many people as we can.

The money will be then given directly to the survivors and their families.

Sharing is also a big part of helping.

There is no small donation, anything help.

I thank you from the bottom of my heart for taking the time to read and your support.

Those two amazing people on that picture below are my mom and dad currently driving back and forth everyday to deliver more supplies.
