One-on-One Cancer Support
Cancer patients and caregivers have complex emotional needs and that’s why we’re partnering with Imerman Angels to help members of the Worth the Wait community find one-on-one peer support, through mentors from cancer diagnosis through survivorship and beyond.
Since 2006, Imerman Angels has made free, personalized mentorship available to cancer patients, survivors, previvors, and caregivers. Tens of thousands of individuals worldwide have been paired with trained Mentor Angels—peers who have faced a similar diagnosis or experience—to receive comfort, connection and understanding.
Every match is made by a real person, not an algorithm. Trained staff consider more than 40 factors, including diagnosis, treatment experience, age and life stage, to pair each applicant with a Mentor Angel who truly understands. Most matches are completed within 1-5 business days.
This confidential service is free for patients, survivors, previvors and caregivers at any stage. Support can last as long as needed—from a single conversation to an ongoing connection over several years. All Mentor Angels are carefully screened and trained, and Spanish-language services are available.
