Whakarāpopototia te tuhinga:  Kua whakakahoretia e tētahi kaikanikani ngaio te whakatikatika whakapaipai hei tango i tana tohu whanau i tana kōwhiringa ki te awhi i tōna takitahi. E kii ana a Cassandra Naud, 22, e aroha ana ia ki tana ahua motuhake, a, e kii ana i tana tohu whanau mo te whakamahara i a ia i tana umanga. Ko te kaikanikani, no Alberta, Canada, i korerotia e tetahi kaihoko mahi ki te whakakore i tana tohu whanau mai i ona upoko, e kii ana ia he tohu pai tera. Panuku ki raro mō te ataata. I whakakahore a Cassandra ki te tango i tana tohu whanau i te mea i korerotia ki a ia ka mahue ia ki te kino kino. E mea ana ia, 'He wāhanga nui o ahau te tohu i whanau mai ai ahau.' 'He mea motuhake, he mea maumahara hoki ki ahau, he mea tino nui ki te mahi i whiriwhiria e au.' I te whanautanga o Cassandra me tētahi tohu kōwhai nui i runga i tōna rae matau, i whakawhiwhia ki ōna mātua, ki a Richard, 60 tau, he kaipūkaha hiko, ki a France, 50 tau, he kaitiaki kura, te kōwhiringa kia tangohia atu, engari i āwangawanga rātau ka waiho e te tohu ki tōna mata, ka whakatau rāua kia kaua. E kii ana a Cassandra he harikoa ia ki te whakatau i whakatauhia e ona maatua na te mea ka tino kino nga paanga o te pokanga. 'I te mea kua uru atu taku tohu whanau ki roto i nga paparanga kiri maha, ko te pokanga kirihou anake te huarahi hei tango. I hoatu e nga taote he kōwhiringa ki oku matua, i whakatupato ia ratou ka taea e te whara, ka taea ranei e au te noho ki te kanohi mangere, 'e kii ana ia. 'Kei te tino koa ahau i whiriwhiri ai oku mātua ki te waiho i taku tohu whanau i te mea he wāhanga o taku āhua. Ko te whai tohu i te whanautanga e wehewehe ana i ahau - a kaore au i te whakaaro kua aukati i ahau.' I whānau mai a Cassandra Naud ki tētahi tohu nui i raro i tōna kanohi matau engari i te mea ka tangohia e ia kua whiriwhiria e ia te awhi i tōna takitahi. He kaikanikani ngaio a Cassandra, ā, e whakapono ana ko tana tohu i whanau mai ai ka nui ake te maumahara ki a ia. Ko Cassandra, e whakaahuahia ana i te taha o tona whaea me tona papa, e kii ana kei te harikoa ia na te mea kaore ia me ona matua i haere ki te tango i tana tohu whanau. Na tana tinana kanikani hae me tana ataata ataahua, kua whakamahia a Cassandra ki te kukume i te aro o nga tangata ke, engari e kii ana ia he tino pākiki te iwi...
I whānau mai a Cassandra Naud me tētahi tohu nui i raro i tōna kanohi matau. I whakatau ōna mātua kia kaua e tangohia atu nā te mea ka waiho i a ia he rākau. 22 tau te pakeke i whakawhiua i te kura engari ināianei ka awhi i tōna takitahi. E mahi ana hei kaikanikani, ā, e kī ana ko tōna tohu whanau e āwhina ana i a ia ki te tu atu.
