Wife sends love online after Tongan fruit picker hospitalised

The wife of a Tongan fruit picker who was admitted to a hospital in New Zealand last week had gone online to show her love and concerns for her husband.

Heneli Tupou of Tatakamotonga was in New Zealand as an employee under the Recognised Seasonal Employment programme.

He was admitted to a Nelson hospital, his wife ʻAsinate Tupou has confirmed.

She said Heneli was sick and they were awaiting his medical examination result.

We understand Heneli was in a serious condition.

ʻAsinate, who told Kaniva News she only used Facebook as means of communication, desperately encouraged her husband on Facebook.

“I am dying of love for you Heneli while you are in difficulty. Trust God with all your heart and do not trust your own wisdom. Listen to him in every way you go. I love you so much”, ‘Asinate posted in Tongan.

Some commentators on Facebook prayed for Heneli and wished him luck.

Sometimes when a business is growing, it needs a little help.

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.
