Imerman Angels – One-On-One Cancer Support
About Us
Organization Description
Imerman Angels’ mission is to provide comfort and understanding for all cancer fighters, survivors, previvors and caregivers through a personalized, one-on-one connection with someone who has been there. Since its inception, Imerman Angels has trained more than 16,000 Mentor Angels and created more than 43,000 connections, which impacted 86,000 people. We envision a world where cancer is not a solitary experience.
Through our unique matching process, we connect Support Seekers with a custom-selected Mentor Angel whose life experience and cancer story is much the same as theirs. We don’t have an app. We don’t use an algorithm. We’re humans and we’re here for you.
Our services are 100% free
Our service is absolutely free to anyone who seeks connection, empathy and support within the cancer community.
You are more than your cancer diagnosis and so is your loved one!
We create customized matches that are based on who you are and what’s important to you.
