We are raising funds to support our 40-year-old cousin, who has recently been diagnosed with Stage 4 cancer, as she begins urgent treatment.
Nationwide
Our beautiful cousin has recently been diagnosed with Stage 4 cancer. This devastating news came just as her family had finished building their family home in Tonga — a place they had worked so hard for and dreamed of filling with love and laughter for many years.
She has travelled to New Zealand to begin urgent treatment, but the costs are overwhelming. Between medical expenses, travel, accommodation, and ongoing care, the total will exceed $100,000. For her and her family, this financial burden is simply too great to carry alone. As she is not from New Zealand, all medical costs are unfunded.
She is only 40 years old — a devoted mother to four boys, the eldest sister of 11 siblings, and a deeply loved wife, daughter, sister, cousin, niece, and aunty. She is the heart of her family — always giving, always caring for others. Now she needs our help.
Our greatest hope is to give her every possible chance to fight this cancer, and to ease the financial stress so she can focus on her treatment and her time with her family.
If you are able to give — whether it’s a small contribution or a larger donation — it would mean more than words can express. If you’re unable to donate, please consider sharing her story. Every act of kindness brings us closer to giving her the support she deserves.
Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your love, prayers, and generosity.
We are her older cousins. Our mother and her father are siblings
All funds will go directly toward her treatment, which will cost more than $100,000, and toward living costs.
Update 2 March 2026
We wanted to say a huge thank you to everyone who has donated to Toakase and her family. Unfortunatley we received news that Toakase won't be able to receive the treatment that she had hoped to get. Because of this she will continue her current cervical cancer treatment and then will return home to be with her family. We ask for your continued prayer for the family as they care for Toakase through this time.
Again, thank you so much for your donations, this money will help with the continued hospital costs for Toakase while she is here in NZ
Thank you so muc Salome for your donation
