Help Me Take Mum Home to Samoa ❤️🇼🇸
Many of you may have followed our journey — my beautiful mum has been courageously battling dementia, and every day reminds me how precious time truly is.
Mum turns 75 this December, and for months she’s been crying at night, wanting to return home to Samoa — to the land her heart never left. Hearing her speak about home with such longing broke me, and I knew I had to make it happen.
By the grace of God, our flights are already sorted, and on January 26th, I’ll be taking Mum home to Samoa — her first trip back in many years. My dream is to surprise her with a 75th birthday celebration surrounded by family and to take her around Upolu and Savai’i, visiting the places she grew up and the people who shaped her life.
I’m doing this on my own, but I know I can’t make the full dream happen without help. Your support will go directly toward:
🏝️ Travel and transport around Upolu and Savai’i
🎂 A surprise 75th birthday celebration for Mum
💙 Helping create memories that she and I can cherish forever
Every dollar, every share, and every word of encouragement means the world to us. From the bottom of my heart — fa’afetai tele lava (thank you so much)
Pini & Mum
All donations will go towards living costs and bills. Your support also gives me the ability to be fully present with her, without the added weight of financial stress — and that presence means everything right now. Contributions will also help cover the cost of Mum’s final trip home to Samoa, scheduled for the 8th of December this year.💖
