Lani and Teremoana’s story

Married young, Lani and Teremoana soon had an active young family. Life was good — but not without its struggles. Having journeyed through grief over the death of a prior partner and contending with drug use, Teremoana had — in her words — ‘encountered God’. Embraced by a local church, she discovered a new freedom. Lani’s history included 10 years in and out of prison — before, as he would say it, Teremoana saved his life.
