ONE-ON-ONE SUPPORT
Personalized Support from Someone Who Understands – Meet Anita!
The Northwest Sarcoma Foundation offers one-on-one support from someone who has firsthand experience as both a caregiver and a grieving family member.
Anita’s husband, Jeff, bravely battled sarcoma for nine years, during which she was his primary caregiver. Having walked this path herself, she deeply understands the challenges of caring for a loved one.Sadly, Jeff passed away from sarcoma, and Anita found herself navigating the difficult journey of grief. Through this experience, she learned firsthand the many challenges that come with losing someone you love.
​For years, Anita served as the Caregiver Casual Chat lead for NWSF, offering support to others in similar situations. Now, she is shifting her focus to more personal, one-on-one support for caregivers and those coping with loss. She welcomes you to reach out with questions or for guidance.
​
Please note that while Anita is not a licensed mental health or medical professional, she brings years of personal experience and a compassionate heart.
Northwest Sarcoma Foundation is excited to partner with Imerman Angels to provide free one-on-one support to previvors, patients, survivors and caregivers.
Imerman Angels was created on the belief that no one should face cancer alone. Through a unique matching process, we partner anyone touched by cancer with someone just like them: a “Mentor Angel”. A Mentor Angel is a cancer survivor, previvor or caregiver who has faced the same type of cancer. The service is free to anyone touched by any cancer, any stage, any age, any gender, anywhere in the world.
Imerman Angels has over 250 active Sarcoma Mentor Angels and 50 Caregiver Mentor Angels. Since 2011, over 180 Sarcoma fighters and 80 caregivers have been helped through their free one-on-one cancer support services.
​
To be a partner, we need patients, caregivers, survivors and/or previvors (positive genetic testing for predisposition to certain cancers/diseases) to register with Imerman Angels as a representative from NWSF. Please consider joining their efforts and ours to help mentor others on their path through Sarcoma by registering with Imerman Angels. This will help ensure no one faces Sarcoma alone.
