The earthquake hit the Marketplace neighborhood on 28 August. My home was one of 89 damaged, and 3 families are still in temporary shelter at a mosque and church hall.
The first few days we shared what little we had. Now the cleanup has started, but we've no money for materials and winter or the rainy season is coming.
Schools in the area have been closed, and the clinic lost its cold storage for vaccines. We're a small community of working families who have never asked for help before.
We have formed a volunteer committee, and I'm the treasurer, so I'll post receipts for everything we buy.
Funds go to building materials, water purification supplies, bedding, and food for families still in shelters.
Where the $1,700 goes:
• Roofing sheets and timber: $860
• Tools and labor for repairs: $400
• Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $115
• Food parcels for displaced families: $325
Thank you so much.

Thinking of you and your family. More neighborhoods should do this. Wish I lived closer to Fez so I could bring a meal
can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Tangier!
Thank you. If you're in Tangier I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Good question.
Wishing you the best, Florence. Shared this with my family. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. God bless.
keep going, Florence. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Love from Likoni.
Sending strength, Florence. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I'm in retail myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you
Praying for you, Florence. Hope you get there. Take care
