Free one-on-one peer support that matches people with cancer, and caregivers, to a trained Mentor Angel who has been through a similar experience, matched by people rather than an algorithm.

- Caregivers
- Separate Caregiver Mentor Angels are available.[1]
Cost
How matching worksImerman Angels connects people facing cancer with a Mentor Angel: a fighter, survivor, previvor or caregiver who has been in a similar spot. Mentors are trained volunteers, and real people make the match, not an algorithm. It works for any cancer type.
What they offer
- One-on-one matching with a Mentor Angel whose story is close to yours.
- Caregiver Mentor Angels for spouses, partners, parents, children, siblings and friends.
- A Cancer Support Specialist who does an intake call to understand what you want.
- Flexible contact, usually by phone, with video, text or email options for different needs and time zones.
How to start and what it costs
Fill out the online registration, then schedule an assessment with a Cancer Support Specialist. Once they find a match, they introduce you. Imerman Angels says it is completely free (checked October 24, 2026).
How it fits with other groups here

Questions I would ask
- Can you match me with someone who has my cancer type, stage or biomarker?
- How long does a match usually take?
- Can my caregiver get a separate mentor?
- What if the match is not a good fit?
