Ashton Miguel
Age: 3
Condition: Cleft Palate
Upon Ashton's birth, Mylene was initially puzzled about the origin of her son's cleft condition, believing it was not present in their family. However, a heartfelt revelation from her mother illuminated the family history, revealing that she, too, had triumphed over a cleft palate through successful surgery in her youth. Although Ashton is still young and has encountered some minor feeding challenges, his loving home environment has allowed him to thrive, free from the bullying that can often accompany such conditions.
Last year, Ashton underwent his first cleft palate surgery through the compassionate Abounding in Love program and Rotaplast International. While the results were not as they had hoped, and the surgery ultimately needed to be redone, this setback has only strengthened their resolve. With renewed hope, they reached out to Abounding once again and are now scheduled for the upcoming Rotaplast International medical mission this March. Mylene and her partner stand together, filled with optimism that this time the surgery will be a resounding success.
Ashton's father dreams of him becoming a fireman, yet Ashton has shown a vibrant passion for cooking, immersing himself in cooking shows and online culinary content. His diverse interests remind them that the journey ahead is bright and filled with possibilities. With each challenge, they remain steadfast in their love and support, eagerly anticipating the upcoming surgery and the positive impact it will have on Ashton's future. Their unwavering hope fuels their spirit, inspiring everyone around them.
