13 year old Umuariki Davidson-Kaiwai starts his 6 months of chemo on xmas day (25/12/2024). He had surgery for a tumor removal from his pelvis area on the 16th of December which was initially classed as benign. But now it's been discovered from his second biopsy, it is Osteosarcoma (bone cancer).

Let's help relieve this whānau of the added stress of finances. Arapeta & Mon (Umu's Pāpā & Māmā) will need to be based away from their mahi (jobs) in Whakatane to be up in Auckland with Umu for treatment, support & his healing. Your support is greatly appreciated & will make a difference.

Tiffany Morgan's involvement (page creator)

Kia ora, I'm Tiff. I think of myself as an Aunty to Umu, as I've known his Māmā since I was 11 years old. Umu is dear to my heart,, like his whole whānau.

Use of funds

Your donations will sustain Umu's mātua (parents) to be with him up in Auckland through his 6 month chemo treatment away from their family home & income. Also lifting strain of any other financing that arises through this time.
