Support our beautiful Tania Karanga through major surgery & recovery. Funds help cover living costs while she can't work.
Hamilton, Waikato
Kia ora everyone,
Thank you for visiting our page. We have set up this fund to wrap our love around our beautiful Tania Karanga, who means the absolute world to our whānau. She is our anchor, and now it is our turn to be there for her.
Tania is currently facing major surgery to remove a large mass (CT scan photo below). While we are grateful for her medical team, the reality ahead is daunting. This highly complex procedure requires a significant hospital stay and a long recovery, meaning Tania will be completely unable to work.
Tania has spent more than 20 years helping others through life's toughest challenges. As a Whānau Ora Kaiwhiriwhiri, she works alongside whānau to achieve tino rangatiratanga, helping young and old access housing, employment, wellbeing, rehabilitation, and self-sufficiency—always putting others first.
Now facing her own health journey, Tania is focused on healing so she can return to the family and mahi she loves. We want to ensure she doesn't carry the heavy burden of financial stress, and your support will help ease this pressure.
How You Can Help
• Donate: If you can, any contribution—no matter how small—will take a massive weight off Tania's shoulders.
• Share: You can also support us immensely by hitting the Share button and sending this link to friends, whānau, and community group chats.
Thank you so much for your generosity, prayers, and kindness. It means the absolute world to Tania and our entire family. ❤️
My sister and much much more
Our beautiful Tania Karanga—a cherished matriarch, wife, mum, nanny, relative, and friend to so many

Update on appt for surgery 30 October 2026
Hi everyone,
Just a little update, Tania has just been informed she has an appt booked at Greenland hospital with the surgery team in charge of her care.
Appt date is November 5th next Thursday.
We don't have alot of information about the appt but expect that they will examine her over and hopefully at this appt will discuss the treatment options and timeframes so we will be able to update further after that appointment.
Again thank you all so much for the help, donations , shares, and even the calls texts and visits xo
