Imerman Angels - https://imermanangels.org/

Sometimes the best therapy is just talking to someone who's
been there. Imerman Angels connects cancer fighters,
survivors, caregivers, and those with cancer predisposition
with "Mentor Angels" - volunteers who share the same, or
similar, experiences. Mentor Angels provide a chance to ask
personal questions and receive support from a peer who has
been down the same road. The service is absolutely free and
available for those touched by any cancer, at any age, living
anywhere in the world!

JL Barker - https://www.jlbarker.org/

JoAnna Barker is a 20- something who defeated cancer and
wrote a book about it. You'll laugh, you'll cry and then you'll
find multiple references to books and movies that she some
how related to cancer. Don't be fooled, if you don't have
cancer you'll still love this book. It's a great read for people
with cancer, people who love people with cancer and people
who just want to know how to relate. We hope you enjoy this
reading journey. Trust us, it's not what you'll expect!

food or medication to make ends meet.
