Support Sami & Her Beautiful Whānau Through Cancer

Sami’s always been the bright light behind the bar at The Turf — bubbly, full of life, and loved by everyone who met her. As a duty manager, she ran the place like a champ, especially on weekends and those classic Monday-Tuesday nights.

Recently, Sami’s world was rocked by a devastating cancer diagnosis — it’s spread to her lungs, liver, bones, and brain. But true to form, she’s still smiling, still positive, and still focused on winning the battle.

Sadly, that battle has meant stepping away from work, cutting the household income in half, and putting extra pressure on her whānau: partner Adam, Marshall (5), Lucy (10), and two teenage step-sons.

We’re asking for your help — to support Sami with living costs, help her create special memories with her kids, and maybe keep little Lucy singing through it all.

Every donation, big or small, makes a real difference to a family that's given so much to our community. Let’s wrap around her now the way she’s always done for others 💛
