Morocco Earthquake

Dear Après Vélo friends and family,

We are reaching out to you today with heavy hearts and a deep sense of urgency. On 8 September, a devastating earthquake struck Morocco, leaving behind a trail of destruction and heartache. The tremors were not just geological; they have shattered the lives of countless families, leaving them in dire need of our support.

The human spirit is resilient, and the people of Morocco are no exception. However, the road to recovery is long and arduous, and these families are facing overwhelming challenges. Homes have been reduced to rubble, livelihoods destroyed, and lives forever altered. As we come together, we can make a meaningful impact and help them rebuild their lives.

Our mission is clear: to provide immediate relief and support for targeted families specifically identified by our amazing Moroccan cycling tour guides, who have been affected by the Moroccan earthquake. Your generosity can help in the following ways:

1. Emergency Shelter and Supplies - These families affected have lost their homes. Your donations will go towards providing emergency shelters, blankets, clothing, and other essential supplies to keep them safe and warm.

2. There are many women left widowed and as a result, have no means of income. It is hoped that some of the money could be used to purchase livestock such as sheep and goats, which will provide a source of income and food to these women and children.

3. Rebuilding Homes - Rebuilding their homes is a long-term goal. Your contributions will help provide the materials and labour necessary to reconstruct safe and stable housing.

4. Sustenance - Basic necessities such as food and clean water are crucial. Your donations will help ensure these families have access to nutritious meals and clean drinking water.

We believe that no act of kindness is too small, and your support, no matter the amount, will make a significant difference in the lives of those affected. Together, we can be a beacon of hope for these families as they embark on their journey to recovery.

Please join us in making a difference by donating to this GoFundMe campaign. Every dollar brings us closer to helping these families rebuild their lives and find hope in the midst of tragedy. Share this campaign with your friends, family, and colleagues to amplify our impact.

Let's stand together, showing the world the incredible power of compassion and unity.

Thank you for your kindness and generosity.

With heartfelt gratitude,

The Team at Après Vélo
