Tangaroa is currently in Waikato hospital with burns and his recovery will take a while. He and his whanau need support during this time.

Bay of Plenty

At the weekend Tangaroa was involved in a terrible accident with a fish smoker to that led to him being covered in methylated spirits which then caught on fire. He has suffered extensive burns to his back, arms and legs and is in Waikato hospital. He is a major support for his whanau and also has his first baby due any day. He needs to concentrate on his recovery and not be stressed by financial challenges at this time. He is a hard working young man who contributes to his community and works full time as a mentor, tutor and kaiawhina for students at Lynmore School.

ANY donations to him would be greatly appreciated.
