"People just realized how amazing it is to come together. A lot of people are hurt with what happened in Morocco so I think...although they can’t be over there helping they know that their hearts are here and the support is here," Yamina Lachmi, a volunteer, told NBC10 Boston.
The death toll of the magnitude 6.8 earthquake has now risen to nearly 3,000 people.
