Ashkey Kirilow, a 23 year old woman from Burlington has confessed to a scam where she claimed to have cancer then raised money for herself. She turned herself into police this past Friday and is expected to appear in a Milton court on today, Monday, August 9. She is facing 3 counts of fraud under $5,000.
 
Kirilow set up a charity called Change For A Cure and solicited donations which could be as much as $20,000.
 
According to reports, Ashley has been estranged from her family since 2005. Her father, Mike Kirilow said that Ashley phoned his wife and him in 2009 about having cancer. She went on to ask for a bone marrow transplant. The members of the family offered to be tested for compatibility but shortly thereafter discovered Ashley was not being treated where she said she was.
 
The family followed Ashley’s charity via Facebook guessing she was in fact, lying about her cancer. After reading a post in which Ashley claimed it would be her last because she was dying, her father confronted her and she finally admitted that no, she did not have cancer. About the same time, people working at the charity became suspicious and contacted authorities.
 
Mike Kirilow has stated that none of the family will be present at the court. He is apparently ashamed of his daughter’s behaviour and cannot support her.
 
There is a developing backslash against Ashley over this fraud and a Facebook group has been set up calling for her to be held accountable for her actions.
