Co–Organiser of Baby Miracle Appeal Upset

Written by Pio Sioa

The co-organisers of on going attempts to send Baby Miracle to New Zealand for medical attention is at odds with the announcement yesterday week, that the trip is ‘ definitely on this week.” The President of the Survival Foundation, Tuilaepa Mary Grey, gave assurances last Monday that the planned trip was all set to go, but did not give the exact day. The promise caught unaware the New Zealand based TV Samoa –Triangle TV NZ that is co-organising the effort. The Director/Producer of the television station, Taufau Gardenia Aukuso, was so upset about it she emailed her concerns to Newsline “This is happening again of Mary, releasing information that the family will be leaving for New Zealand this week like the first time, while myself, Lauano and Rosemary of New Zealand Immigration are corresponding about this application,” Ms. Taufau complained in an email to Newsline after reading the online story “ No Money No Visa for Baby Miracle,” on Samoalivenews.com. “Everything is done from this end..” says Taufau, “the TV Samoa here in New Zealand are doing everything here “We have secured doctors, doing visa applications, appealing for funds, and everything else. So for Mary to go out and say that the family is leaving this week without knowing what the case is at the moment is very, very upsetting. “She did this before and now doing it again. I don’t know where Mary got her information from but its very upsetting to read something like this, while I have everything in front of me about this whole case.” Ms Taufau also noted that she has no concern with comments attributed to the NZ immigration attaché, Lauano Mr. Ati Ilaoa in the story. “Lauano myself and Rosemary of New Zealand Immigration are corresponding about this application.” The email went on to update the progress made on the visa application. “To set things straight, NZ Immigration are still processing and hopefully sometime next week we'll know of the outcome. Survival Foundation was there in the begining, but at the moment, everything is done from this end. I have also received a letter from the Prime Minister himself after I wrote to him and a copy of his letter of support has been forwarded to the Immigration.” In a follow email in reply to questions about what the future holds for Baby Miracle if attempts fell through to sent her to NZ, Taufau was adamant they will persist with their effort. It's been a very long process for everybody and it's not an easy one. We won't give up hope and we will keep on fighting so Miracle gets the chance to be examined properly and be treated. Some predictions from the Motootua Hospital said that she wouldn't last a day. Well, look what happened? She is now 3 months old, well and very alive. We can say whatever we can say, but none of us know Gods will for Miracle. So instead of sitting around and do nothing about it, we will do all that we can possibly can, and we will stand by that. There is also a possibility of us from TV Samoa here in NZ, to help more needy children of Samoa, so they would have a fair chance in life, but for now, Miracle is our priority. “ Comments (3) Subscribe to this comment's feed Baby miracle written by raddu k, November 28, 2007 Am in support of everything that Taufau has said and particularly of her concerns. However, be well-versed that it is always the life in Samoa that people want to be known and from that point they just go ahead and spread the message pretending that they are the ones doing the work unfortunately not. Hence, i humbly advise Taufau to please, keep on working hard in the best that you have to take baby miracle for operations in New Zealand. Dont give up as all those constranits are piling up. God is looking from above and will give you a reward for what you sow. God bless you and all you are doing for Baby miracle. Baby Mircle written by Elena Thompson, December 25, 2007 What a shame!!
