Whakarāpopototia te tuhinga:  Ko tētahi māmā e hiahia ana ki te āwhina, i tāngia e ia he tono mō tētahi kaiwhakawhiwhi whatukuhu ki te matapihi o muri o tōna waka, kua kitea e ia tētahi kaiwhakawhiwhi whai muri i te kitenga o tētahi tangata kē i te karere, ā, ka tuku mai ki te āwhina. E 23 nga tau o Christine Royles i tana kitenga he mate autoimmune, he lupus me te ANCA vasculitis, e arahi ana ki te ngoikoretanga o te whatukuhu, e ai ki te Portland Press Herald. I haere te wahine o Portland ki te Tonga ki te motu e tatari ana kia kitea he kaiwhakawhiwhi, engari i whiriwhiri ia ki te haere i tetahi ara rereke, e ai ki te niupepa.

' I kite a Josh Dall-Leighton, 30, i te karere i runga i te haerenga ki te Maine Mall me tona whanau, e ai ki te niupepa. I waea mai te matua o te tokotoru, e mahi ana hei kaitiaki whakatikatika. Ka mea ia ki te Portland Press Herald 'I titiro noa ahau ki taku wahine, ka mea, "Me whakamatau ahau". Ki taku whakaaro ko te mea he tamariki aku tokotoru, ā, i tino pā mai ki ahau. 'Ki te hiahia (ku wahine) ki tētahi whatukuhu, ā, kāore au i te kaha ki te whakarato i a ia, ka tūmanako ahau ka eke atu tētahi atu ki te āwhina i a ia.' I tutaki a Christine Royles rāua ko Talan ki a Josh Dall-Leighton rāua ko tana tama a Christopher i te Rātū whakamutunga. Maimoatanga: I whakairihia e Royles he whakaahua ki Facebook e whakaatu ana i ana taonga dialysis e rua marama. E kīia ana e 10 haora a ia e noho ana i runga i tētahi mīhini kōhao ina hoki mai ia ki te kāinga mai i te mahi.
