About Us

No one can be prepared for the moment they learn their son, daughter, brother, or sister has been diagnosed with cancer. Cancer delays plans and puts parents, patients, and siblings in a position where they have to sacrifice personal goals for health. We want to help make up the time cancer has taken from them, and push them forward towards their college and career aspirations.

Friend’s of a Feather was established in 2022 in honor of Barbara DeLorenzo by her husband, Bob, and her four children Nicole, Tyler, Christa, and Matthew. Barb was a friend of everyone she crossed paths with in life, a light in every room she entered, and treated every child she met like they were her own. 

Barb was diagnosed with Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma at the age of 57, and she immediately began her treatments. As the treatments passed, the disease got stronger, but Barb never got weaker. She remained an amazing mother and friend to many, and always displayed her incredible selflessness. Every day that she spent in the hospital for treatments, she would put a smile on the face of each person battling alongside her, especially the children. 

In March of 2022, Barb won her battle of 3 years and passed away from cancer. Friends of a Feather was created because of Barb’s admiration for children battling cancer, and to deliver smiles and support to them and their families that we know Barb greatly wishes she still could.
