This is Mr. Muhammed Moarek age 70 currently homeless in Essaouira, Morocco. He used to shelter in a garage from where he was evicted 2 days ago with no access to toilet or running water. He is very weak and did not shower for a long time. 100 Friends bought him 2 warm pants, 1 jacket, socks, a hat and one pair of pajamas for $33.
We gave him $30 dollars more to buy food for the next few days and we contacted a local social worker who connected us to the El Hanchane Organization which operates a home for homeless people 35 km away from Essaouira. The director came to meet Mr. Moarek to assess his situation and gave us the positive news that he could take him to the home after undergoing a general check up at the local hospital. 100 Friends spent an additional $100 to cover ambulance fees and a hospital checkup. Mr Moarek is now in a safe place in the home with another 65 men and women.
