We found out from Huni of a family living in an old bus in Lavengatonga. Father and 11-year-old son have returned from New Zealand; mom has gone back to New Zealand for the rest of the children. Christian (dad) and Tevita are living here in Lavengatonga. They have only been here a week or 2. Christian has not found work yet. He told us "Sometimes we don't have food. We will go 2-3 days without any food."

Bus family is living in. |
We are very thankful Huni told us about this family. They just need help until Christian can find a job here in Tonga. Since all we knew was that they were living in a bus, in addition to food items we also purchased other items we thought they would need -- towels, shampoo, soap, toothpaste, mosquito coils. The Coombs gave us toilet paper, paper towels, and paper plates to take to this family.
Mom comes home in a couple weeks. Tevita is going to be baptized the end of the month when Mom returns back to Tonga. We are looking forward to attending his baptism. In the meantime, we will be back to check on their food needs. They do not need to go without food! We can help.
