A Moroccan restaurant in Mississauga is donating its weekend’s profit to help the victims of a powerful earthquake in Morocco that left more than 1,000 people dead.
"It's gonna go straight to the people who are without homes and without water and light," Mona Ahmed, the owner of Morocco's Kitchen said in an interview with CP24 on Saturday.
Ahmed was up all night frightened and worried about her family back in the North African country. After learning about the magnitude-6.8 quake late Friday evening, she immediately contacted her sister.
"She was not answering. So I started panicking," Ahmed recalled.
"I didn't know what to do. I'm far away. What to do? So I was just trying to call."
Ahmed said she was later able to reach her sister through neighbours.
