Help Miri Fight Osteosarcoma

Donation protected
Today, I am reaching out to share a story that has touched the lives of many - the story of Miri Nakamura, a brave soul battling Osteosarcoma.

Miri, a vibrant and resilient individual that just turned 21, has been facing the challenges of Osteosarcoma with incredible strength and determination. She started to feel pain in March 2023 this year and was diagnosed with osteosarcoma in June. Within 2weeks after the diagnosis, she was transferred to hospital in Japan from Seattle Children’s Hospital. Her journey has been marked by countless medical procedures, treatments, surgical procedure which removed a huge area of her leg bones and replaced it with titanium and the unwavering support from her families in Japan and US. Yet, the financial burden associated with her medical expenses has been overwhelming. Her mother Mitsuko needs to stay in Washington in order for her to continue working to support her medical and living costs. She flies back and forth to support Miri in this journey.

As we come together in the spirit of community
and compassion, I am excited to announce the launch of a GoFundMe campaign dedicated to supporting Miri's medical journey. Our goal is to alleviate the financial stress that comes with fighting a battle against Osteosarcoma, allowing Miri to focus on her health and recovery. We hope to raise fund so we can purchase C-Brace so she can walk again and hopefully run so she can join marathon which was her passion.

Your contribution, no matter the size, can make a significant impact on Miri's life. Whether it's covering medical bills, aiding in rehabilitation, or providing emotional support, every donation brings us one step closer to ensuring Miri receives the care she deserves.

Please join us in this collective effort to rally around Miri and her family during this challenging time. Share this campaign with your network, spread the word on social media, and let's create a wave of support that echoes far and wide.

Miri's courage has inspired us all, and now, let's stand by her side as she continues to fight Osteosarcoma. Miri is determined to go back to Seattle University to finish her business and nursing majors. Your kindness and generosity will not only contribute to her medical expenses but also serve as a powerful reminder of the strength that community can provide.

Thank you for your time, your compassion, and your support. With heartfelt gratitude,



勇敢な魂、中村美莉さんの物語です。手術後わずか3日で21歳の誕生日を迎えた、元気で回復力のあるミリさんは、驚異的な強さと決意で骨肉腫の困難に立ち向かっています。今年の3月に痛みを感じ、6月に骨肉腫と診断され、診断から2週間も経たないうちにシアトル小児病院から日本の病院に転院。美莉さんの挑戦は、医療処置、治療、足の骨の大部分を切除してチタンに置き換える手術、そして日米の家族からの揺るぎないサポートに支えられました。医療費に伴う経済的な負担も軽くありませんでした。母親の満子さんはワシントン州での仕事を続け、美莉さんのそばにいるために何度も飛行機を往復しています。

私たちのコミュニティは思いやりの精神で団結し、美莉さんの医療支援を目的としたGoFundMeキャンペーンを開始しました。目標は、骨肉腫との闘いに伴う経済的なストレスを軽減し、美莉さんが健康と回復に専念できるようにすることです。資金を集め、C-Braceを購入し、できれば彼女が再びマラソン大会に参加できるよう願っています。

あなたの寄付は、美莉さんの将来に大きな影響を与えることができます。医療費の補填、リハビリの支援、精神的なサポートなど、どんな寄付でも美莉さんがふさわしいケアを受けられる一歩になります。

この難しい時期に美莉さんと彼女の家族をサポートするために、ぜひご参加ください。このキャンペーンを共有し、ソーシャルメディアで広めてください。

そして今、骨肉腫との戦いを続ける美莉さんの傍らに立ちましょう。美莉さんはシアトル大学に戻り、ビジネスと看護の専攻を修了することを決意しています。皆さまのご厚意は、医療費のサポートだけでなく、地域社会の強さを再確認する力にもなります。

お時間、思いやり、そしてご支援に感謝いたします。心からの感謝をこめて、
