Santina Manuel

5 year old Santina has been diagnosed an inoperable tumour. This is obviously a sudden and tragic situation to be in and the family (Kaitaia residents) are in Auckland for at least the next 6 weeks. The way forward is still unclear but we are trusting God for a great outcome.

Anyone who has been through a family trauma involving long spells in the hospitals knows that it can be an emotionally and financially taxing experience. Hopefully, as a community we can help to take any pressure created as a result of not working for 6 weeks (or more). Also, who knows what the future holds and what demands there may be on the family to travel between Kaitaia and Auckland and the cost this may be.
