Miralys Chardon is a fighter, a caregiver, and a quiet hero in her community. Now she needs our help to fight for her own life.
Last year, Miralys was diagnosed with stage 3c colon cancer and began her battle with determination and hope. She underwent major surgery and pushed through rounds of chemotherapy — all while continuing to support those around her.
Despite her own health challenges, Miralys has been the sole caregiver for her aging mother, showing the same compassion and strength she has given so generously to others throughout her life. She’s someone who shows up — for her family, her friends, and her community.
But now it’s time for Miralys to focus on herself.
Her current medical crisis:
A recent Sygnatera test revealed that her colon cancer has now entered her bloodstream, a sign of metastasis. Doctors also discovered enlarged ovaries with large cysts and an enlarged uterus, requiring a complete hysterectomy as soon as possible.
Yet, just one day before her surgery, the hospital canceled the procedure due to non-payment.
Total estimated cost for this surgery: $330,000
Prepayment required by AdventHealth hospital: $61,251.24
Requested payment plan: Refused by hospital
Medical Insurance: Maxed out due to prior surgery and chemotherapy
Savings: Depleted after a year of cancer treatments (chemo, scans, etc.)
Miralys has spent everything she had — financially, physically, and emotionally — to keep going through treatments while taking care of her loved ones. She’s exhausted, and the stress of this financial burden is only worsening her condition.
What she needs now:
Miralys needs this life-saving surgery and time to rest, heal, and put herself first — without the added pressure of wondering how she’ll afford life-saving care or keep the lights on.
Your donation will help cover:
The $60,000 prepayment required to reschedule her canceled surgery;
Monthly bills and essentials, so she can focus on recovery;
Peace of mind, which is just as critical as medicine in a fight like this.
Whether you can give $1, $10, $100, or more, know that every bit helps. If you’re unable to donate, please share this page and help spread the word.
Let’s rally around Miralys the way she has shown up for so many others. She deserves this chance. She deserves this care. She deserves to know she’s not alone.
Thank you so much for your love, support, and kindness.
