Mentor Angels fill the understanding gap in cancer care
FREE
personalized one-on-one
cancer support for
fighters, survivors,
previvors or
caregivers.
A Mentor Angel is a person who has been affected by cancer, and provides emotional and psychosocial support to a cancer fighter or previvor with a similar background and experience to yours.
Imerman Angels connects Support Seekers with their very own cancer confidante at no cost. We work to match you with the right Mentor Angel — someone with the same cancer type, cancer mutation/risk and life experience — for one-on-one support.
No algorithms, just people helping people. Mentor Angel volunteers are trained to provide a safe, nurturing space for asking questions, laughing, crying and sharing.
Support is also available for caregivers.
If you are the caregiver or loved one of someone with cancer we offer support for you through a Caregiver Mentor Angel. We define caregivers as anyone supporting and caring for a parent, spouse, partner, child, sibling, family member, friend, etc. with a cancer diagnosis. If you would like to be matched with a Caregiver Mentor Angel with an experience similar to yours click the button below.
