Imerman Angels provides personalized one-on-one cancer support by connecting cancer fighters, survivors and caregivers.
About us
Imerman Angels provides personalized one-on-one cancer support by connecting cancer fighters, survivors and caregivers. No one can quite understand the effects that cancer has physically, mentally, or emotionally on an individual touched by cancer other than someone who has personally been there. Through our unique matching process, Imerman Angels connects individuals seeking cancer support with a "Mentor Angel" - a cancer survivor or caregiver who is as similar as possible in age, gender, and most importantly, cancer experience. The service is absolutely free and helps anyone touched by any type of cancer, at any cancer stage level, at any age, living anywhere in the world.
