Mele Tongamana of Veitongo Tongatapu, received news from NZ doctors that she’s only got two to three months to live.  The news came as a shock because she did not know that her situation is as bad as NZ doctors have explained.  The doctors said, the tumur is too big and it is too late to treat.  Mele explained to TNEWS that she accepted the fact she was going to die.  “Whatever God plans for me, I accept it...”.  Mele comes from a family of four, three boys and her.  Her father has passed away and her mother, Mrs To’iahi Tongamana is still alive.  To’iahi, accompanied her daughter to New Zealand.  

Mele’s last wish is to die here in New Zealand and she’s appealing to the Tongan community in Auckland to assist her to bring her three brothers from Tonga for her funeral.  Chairperson of the Tongan Advisory Council - Melino Maka told TNEWS that he would like to help out Mele’s family.
