Hi Talal,
Concerning how to retrieve funds, I have asked around for you and you have two options:
1- Open an Attijari Wafabank account. They are the only bank in Morocco that have a partnership with paypal allowing their customers to retrieve their paypal balance directly into their bank accounts. The issue here is that this is quite new and most banking agencies don't even know about it. You would have to ask around in Casablanca I think and not in Settat. Also, I am unclear on what restrictions there are if any when it comes to large sums of money. Still, I think this is the way to go and the good news here is that it is definitely possible.
2- Some banks here offer visa cards that work with paypal, these can be tied to your paypal account and you can retrieve your money directly on them. E-carte internationale with la Société Générale is one of them. Now the one issue with this is that when it comes to large sums of money, these tend to trigger moneylaundering alarms with the regulating authorities which might slow down the retrieval process by as much as 15 days.
I would recommend going to Attijari Wafabank in Casablanca and explaining your situation there. If you need a place where to stay in Casablanca to do this, you are welcome at my place at any time. I hope you manage to get the funds as fast as possible.
Also, if you need any help with organizing your crowdfunding campaign, I can also help. If you need to take pictures or someone to write up a more detailed bio and progress on your treatment, it is not an issue for me at all.
I would also like to thank the community for all the help it has provided, you guys rock.
Keep on fighting Talal.
