Dear Friends of FECC,
On behalf of Friends of Egyptian Children with Cancer (FECC), I sincerely thank you for your generous support and commitment. This year, despite the Covid-19 epidemic and its economic impact on many. the vast majority of our donors did their best to help the poor and sick children in Egypt. We deeply appreciate your generosity to provide medications to those in desperate need. The cost of chemotherapy medications in Egypt is rising by the day.
This year. the FECC raised $140,000.00. Our overhead is minimal, thanks to the FECC all-volunteer Board members. Last month, $135,000.00 were wired to our sister organization’s bank account in Cairo. Seventy percent of the funds were earmarked for medications requested by Abou- El- Reach, El Zagazig, Ain Shams, Assiut Alexandria, and Mansoura University hospitals and the Nasser Institute. The amount of donation to each hospital is correlated with the number of children each hospital treated for – free that year. The remaining 30% of the funds transferred to Egypt were assigned to “the Oasis”. In addition, the FECC has reserved $25,000.00 for the nursing scholarships at Cairo University Nursing School.
Thank you in advance for your generous donations:
