Family plead for prayer as daughter fights for life in hospital in Australia

The family of a Tongan father and his daughter who were in hospital in Australia have asked for prayer as the daughter is fighting for her life in hospital.

An unconfirmed information said she was in life support while her father was in stable condition.

Tēvita Tupou and his daughter Māʻata Tupou of Houma, Tongatapu were on their way back to Melbourne from Sydney on Wednesday 21 when their twin-double cab ute collided with another vehicle.

Emergency services were responding to a serious crash on the Sturt Highway between Hay and Narrandera, NSW media reported.

The crash, which occurred about 9am involved a heavy vehicle and a passenger vehicle.

Police said two persons trapped in the passenger vehicle.

Tēvita’s aunty Moetoto Fa’asolo Tupou told Kaniva News they received the sad news yesterday evening after Tēvita and Māʻata left their home in the morning.

Tēvita’s sister Silipa Kavai, who is currently in New Zealand, said she was trying to fly to Australia to be with her brother and niece.

She has posted an emotional status on Facebook last night saying she wished she can just drive down on her vehicle to Australia to see them when she got the bad news.

She also posted a photo of Tēvita and her daughter.

Moetoto has pleaded for prayer on Facebook for Tēvita and Māʻata.

Right now Kaniva News provides a free, politically independent, bilingual news service for readers around the world that is absolutely unique. We are the largest New Zealand-based Tongan news service, and our stories reach Tongans  wherever they are round the world. But as we grow, there are increased demands on Kaniva News for translation into Tongan on our social media accounts and for the costs associated with expansion. We believe it is important for Tongans to have their own voice and for Tongans to preserve their language, customs and heritage. That is something to which we are strongly committed. That’s why we are asking you to consider sponsoring our work and helping to preserve a uniquely Tongan point of view for our readers and listeners.
