Joshua Pumati is facing a difficult time following the loss of his mother. His cousin, Mary Fahiua, has stepped in to help by organizing a fundraiser to cover the cost of his mother’s headstone. Joshua, an only child, has endured the heartache of losing both parents at a young age. He cared for his parents from the age of six, continuing to look after his mother until he was nineteen.
Mary describes Joshua as selfless and big-hearted, always prioritizing others above himself. Despite his struggles, including battling depression, he continues to show resilience. Mary, the oldest niece on Joshua’s mother’s side, started the fundraiser to alleviate some of the financial burdens Joshua faces while he juggles university and personal grief.
The fundraiser aims to raise $3,000 AUD to cover the headstone expenses. Mary hopes that the community will come together to support Joshua during this challenging time, just as his mother was a mother figure to many children in their community. The fundraiser is a testament to Joshua’s bravery and the loving memory of his mother.
