Help Kitione ‘Kiti’ Waqanisau - Medical & Living Expenses

Kitione ‘Kiti’ Waqanisau is a lovely bloke and a valued member of the Barossa Rams Rugby Club, having relocated to the region from his Native Fiji as part of the Federal Government’s Pacific Australia Labour Mobility (PALM) scheme.

Whilst working and supporting his extended family back in Fiji, Kiti had been enjoying creating connections in the local community via the local Rugby Club, forming fast friendships and had been looking forward to playing alongside his brother Navi.

Unfortunately for Kiti in the game vs Onkaparinga on the 5th of April, he suffered a horrific broken leg and dislocated ankle, requiring extensive surgery, with a lengthy recovery time ahead of him and with a loss time from work.

This GoFundMe is being created hoping to assist both Kiti and his family in these challenging times with both the expensive medical and rehabilitation costs required post-surgery, plus cost-of-living assistance whilst unable to work.

Whilst there is some Insurance provided by the governing bodies, it will be a long way short of the support Kiti will need.

The Rugby community is famously big-hearted in supporting their own, and any assistance provided would be graciously received by both Kiti, his family and the Barossa Rams Rugby Club.

Yours in Rugby

The Barossa Rams
