Supporting Nati and his family in getting through this incredibly hard battle ahead of them.

Christchurch, Canterbury

After going into his GP for lower back pain Nati had to break the news to lifelong partner Santana that it was worse than they initially thought, and the doctor had diagnosed him with Leukemia.

Nati, dad to Damien, Portia and Kanelia is known to be a fighter having been in a serious accident a few years ago where it was touch and go Nati is a beacon of strength and resilience to the whole aiga (family). As he faces this road ahead, the aiga are determined to stand by his side every step of the way.

Nati, sat his mum Asu, dad Sio and siblings down to tell them the devastating news but gave us strong words that he’s going to fight it and give it all he’s got. His partner Santana is incredibly strong and has been with him every step of the way while also taking care of the kids.

Those that know the aiga know that Nati and Santana aren’t ever ones to ask for help however would drop everything to lend a hand. When I asked if this was something we could do to support them during this time they were reluctant however know that with any support it’ll help Nati focus on the task at hand. his battle with Lymphoblastic Leukemia.

Given all Nati has overcome in the past Santana, the kids, his parents, brothers, sisters, nieces, nephews and wider aiga are devastated yet remaining hopeful.

Thank you for standing with us during this challenging time.
