To help my friend have an extra special trip to Tonga with her fanau (children) in memorial to her late husband

Christchurch, Canterbury

This is to bless my dear friend Evalingi, who tragically lost her husband and the father of their six children in January 2023. Their children range from age 1 to 13.

Evalingi is taking them to Tonga in May to see where their beloved father was born and raised. It would be wonderful to ensure her and the childrens' first overseas trip is an extra special and memorable time.

I have been wanting to set up this page for a long time—it's taken over a year to convince Evalingi to let me. She is the kind of person who would give you the shirt off her own back, no questions asked, and never want to inconvenience anyone else for help herself. So it's a big deal she has let me set this up!

We are called to take care of one another in our time of need. And what a gift it is to share what blessings we have. Would you help me surround Evalingi in this time of need?

Solo parenting six beautiful children (some with extra needs) is proving just as difficult as you could imagine, and I would love to make this journey a little less difficult, especially with the cost of living being what it is.

Thank you so much in advance for helping to bless this special family.

I met Evalingi at kindy and as our sons became good friends, so did we!

Hey Evalingi, I met you at Kindy too, my boy Joel (10) and Hannah (7) were there at the same time as your children. I loved chatting to you and I was always so impressed at what a wonderful mum you are. I am so sorry to hear that your husband has passed away and hope you can get to Tonga soon. God bless
