Friends of Children With Cancer - Health and Hope Oasis
In 1992, Friends of Children with Cancer (FOCC), a joint effort between Egyptians and expatriate residents of Cairo, was registered as a not for profit organization with the Ministry of Social Solidarity under No. 231. The goal was to insure consistent and timely access to high quality medications for children from low income families through the creation of an endowment that insured they reach their objectives.

Children that have undergone chemotherapy, radiation or surgery, need proper nutrition and a clean environment to protect them from secondary infections in between treatments. They also need to be surrounded with love, to be allowed to play with no fear, to be able to express themselves, and a whole lot more. Older children also need to continue their education and feel that are not any different from their peers. That is why there was a need for a supportive care center for children with cancer and their families, and it was named the Health and Hope Oasis. The Health and Hope Oasis is the first supportive healthcare center for children with cancer, providing & promoting nutritional, physical & emotional well being for children with cancer & their families in a healthy safe set-up

One quick last question. Who was seeking counseling today?
Do you know the reason they are not accepting clients?
A community counseling agency is a group therapy practice that offers affordable mental health services. Most are independent non-profit agencies, state agencies, or publicly-funded agencies. A few may restrict who is eligible for services, so it is a good idea to check when you call.
Community counseling agencies are generally more affordable than other therapy providers, but how much more affordable they are will depend on whether you qualify for a discount or sliding scale fee (or if they accept your insurance). Many, but not all, have a policy that they won't turn away anyone due to inability to pay. You should ask about their fees when you first call.
Expect to talk to kind people who want to help you find the care you need. Most community agencies strive to connect you with a live person within 24 hours, if not immediately. If you're asked to hold or leave a message, don't give up; just leave a message and wait. You should hear back pretty quickly.
Most agencies try to set up an initial assessment appointment within a week (some do within 24 hours), though the waitlist to start therapy is usually longer—about a few weeks on average. If you're not eligible or if the agency is not right for you, it's usually still worth it to call or drop in, because staff are knowledgeable about local options and can often refer you to one.
