Short description about the programs offered by Friends of a Feather. Two or three sentences here would be great.

Barb’s Bags of Hope

We deliver care packages that include items that will provide comfort during treatments, put smiles on patients faces, empower patients to dream big, and also provide entertainment to patients and their families. As a family that has experienced the ups and downs of cancer, we believe these items also create amazing moments and memories that the patients and their family members will be able to hold onto forever.

College Admission Support

For college admissions, we support patients, siblings of patients, and parents of patients.

Services we offer include help in selecting the college that is right for the student, application and essay assistance, and finding and applying for scholarships, grants, and financial aid. Once the student is accepted into college, we will provide ongoing mentoring to help the student adjust to college life, select courses, get academic help as needed, be a friend and source of advice, and also enroll them in our Career Mentorship Program. We will continue to serve the students in the same way if they decide to go on to graduate school and get an advanced degree. 


Career Mentorship

We firmly believe in connecting with professionals and entrepreneurs in the field that our friends are passionate about.

By providing access to our network, patients and their families will receive priceless professional and personal advice, and also begin building a network of their own that will open doors to the rooms they deserve to be in. Additionally, we hold sessions focused on resume and interview prep so our friends can receive feedback and are prepared for the next step.
