Dear Friends of Egyptian Children with Cancer,
On behalf of Friends of Egyptian Children with Cancer “FECC” we deeply thank you for your continuous support and generous donations throughout the year.
Last week we were able to transfer $175,000 to our sister organization in Egypt. Seventy percent (70%) of the funds will be used to buy and distribute medications to the hospitals the FECC sponsors in Upper and Lower Egypt. Thirty percent (30%) of the funds will be used to allow the “Oasis” to host the sick children and their families during their treatments and checkups at no cost.
The FECC expenses for the year were $4,545.00. This included cost of envelopes, printing, postal stamps, yearly subscription to Bonterra software program and the electronic fund transfer to Egypt.
Currently, we have less than $3000 in the bank, however, with your help it will grow again.
May God reward you for helping the sick poor children and their families in Egypt.
The FECC is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization with a Federal tax ID # 76-0464279. All your donations are tax deductible as allowed by the law.

We simply can’t do it without you. Your support will make a real, lasting impact in the lives of those who are still in need.
Funds raised by our organization are spent on programs that benefit the children of Egypt. Moreover, our board includes four physicians from world-class institutions like the MD Anderson Cancer Center and Memorial Hermann Children’s Hospitals. These physicians’ knowledge of cancer treatments in Egypt and the US is critical in making informed decisions about the medication and education programs to fund. It is important to remember those who are less fortunate than us. Please consider donating to Friends of Egyptian Children with Cancer. Due to the current economic conditions in Egypt, your help is needed more than ever!
