Manawatu / Whanganui

It is more blessed to give than receive (Acts 20:35)

Tali, a beautiful young Mum, was diagnosed with Chrondoblastic osteosarcoma when pregnant with her second child. Very soon, following the birth, Tali underwent surgery to remove the leg in which the cancer was growing and this was followed by chemotherapy. Tali faced this challenge with a smile, her faith and the support of her loving family and friends.

In 2019, much to her delight, she became pregnant again but toward the end of the pregnancy it was found that the cancer had returned and is now in her lungs and brain.

Tali is a true warrior and is undergoing radiation therapy in the hopes of reducing the effects of the tumours on her lungs. In the new year she will face chemotherapy again. All of this is to buy Tali some more precious time with her beautiful family.

She is tired but she is still smiling.

Living in a small rural town, she has to travel to the nearest base hospital for treatment. Her husband has stopped working to ensure she and the 3 children are cared for. At this time it would be truly amazing if they had enough money to keep them comfortable, to ensure the bills are paid and there is money to spare for them to create some memories as a family. Tali's husband would love to take Tali back to Samoa so his family can meet Tali and their beautiful children. Help us make this dream a reality.

O le tele o sulu e maua ai se figota, e mama se avega pe a ta amo fa’atasi

My strength does not come from me alone, but from many .

I am Tali's friend and wish to see her enjoying precious time with her family without worrying about finances.

Use of funds

Funds will be used for everyday living, where the family has the most need and for the purpose of creating wonderful family memories. Any surplus will be saved as a future nest egg for Tali's beautiful children.
