* * * * * * * * * *

Please help us support our aunty Liga. A mother to 3 boys (7, 11 & 17yrs) and a much loved family woman.

2020 was a challenging and testing year for us all. For aunty Liga, it was also the year she was diagnosed with Sarcomatoid Renal Cell Carcinoma - a rare and aggressive kidney cancer.

Because it is a rare cancer, the few therapy options available for aunty Liga are not funded by the government. We have been quoted $94,425 for the recommended treatment. We would humbly appreciate any contributions to help her get the treatment she so desperately needs.

Despite enduring this pain for years with no diagnosis until November 2020, aunty Liga has been a pillar in our family. She gives willingly, loves fiercely and serves her family, church and elders, whole-heartedly.

We hope to reach anyone who is willing and able to contribute to her treatment, to help ease the financial stress on our uncle and little brothers. Please help us give our aunty a fighting chance to watch her boys grow up.

From the bottom of our hearts, faafetai tele lava.

Alofaaga, Taliau family.

All funds will go towards the treatment ($94,425.00). Any surplus will go towards additional hospital costs or to support her husband and kids.

*Update*

Funds will be used for seeking a second opinion, alternative approaches (mainly herbal healing) and general financial assistance for our uncle and little brothers (https://givealittle.co.nz/cause/katerina-kicking-kidney-cancer/updates).

Use of Funds  23 January 2021

Talofa everyone - just wanted to post an update regarding the use of funds now that the page is officially closed.

As I mentioned in the last update, at auntys last hospital visit, the doctors advised they didn’t believe auntys immune system could handle the treatment, which this page was created to help fund. The funds already generously donated will go towards seeking a second opinion and also looking at alternative approaches - mainly herbal healing.

Words cannot express how grateful we are for everyone who shared, donated and sent us well wishes. We only ask that you continue to uplift aunty Liga in prayers. God bless you all x
