Help us get to Samoa!

Hi my name is Cassidy Lomu and 5 weeks ago my husband Maikeli moved to the Kingdom of Tonga for the opportunity to play with the Tongan National Football team, in the FIFA 2026 World Cup Qualifiers. We recently received news that Maikeli is planned to be on the official roster for the first round of WC qualifying matches that will be taking place in Samoa this coming September. The good news is myself as well as our 3 daughters, and my best friend Brittany are already scheduled to arrive in Tonga on August 20th! The bad news is we are currently living on savings until our visas are finalized and since receiving this amazing news, plane ticket prices from Tonga to Samoa have gone up substantially. As much as we would love to be in Samoa to support Maikeli and watch the Tongan Football team advance to the next round, we cannot sacrifice what could sustain our family for several months on the island while we wait for our visas to be finalized in order to do so. We have witnessed several miracles over the last few months and I am hopping with your help we can pull off one more and get our family to Samoa!

Thank you so much for your support! If you would like to follow along on this journey you can follow Maikeli on Instagram @maikeli_lomu
