✨ Still feeling the love from Z Good in the Hood… 🥹🧡

Three stations. Three communities. And SO much heart 🫶🏽

To everyone who voted for Taime Pasifika Cancer Support, we say: fa’afetai tele lava. Your tokens, your votes and your support help us be there for Pasifika families affected by cancer 💛

We're SO grateful to Kennerly Retail Investments and Aiga Energy Limited for the beautiful hearts you have for giving back to our communities. We feel incredibly blessed to be part of a campaign that celebrates not just one charity, but so many organisations doing good 🙏🏽

Now for the question we know you’re wondering… how much did Taime receive? 🤫

Stay tuned. We’ll reveal all soon ✨

At this point, shopping is secondary. We have entered sensory heaven 😂✨

💙 Dads and Uncles: this one’s for you.

Some conversations are easy.
Some take a little more courage.

Talking to your sons. Your nephews. The young men in your aiga about their health, including their prostate and testicular health, is one of those conversations that could genuinely make a difference.

Don’t wait until something feels wrong to talk about it. Knowing what’s normal for your body, knowing the signs to look out for, and knowing when to get checked is part of looking after yourself.

So ask the question. Have the talanoa. Make checking in on your health normal. Because sometimes the most powerful thing a dad can pass on isn’t something you can hold in your hands. It’s knowledge ❤️‍🩹

👨👌🏾Dads: start the conversation.
👨‍🦱 Sons & nephews: don’t be shy about asking questions.

Let’s make courageous conversations part of looking after our aiga 💙

There’s a kind of strength that comes from being in a room with people who just get it.

It’s Our Taime is our time to pause, connect, talanoa, listen and look after each other. Because the cancer journey doesn’t end when treatment does. Some are still walking through it and some are finding their way forward. Because when you’ve been through cancer, you know the power of having people who show up... and we’ll keep showing up for each other 🫶🏽

Today we shared wonderful memories of our sister Valu. Join us in keeping our Poliko family in prayer 🫂

We also announced #PolyPeaches and look forward to this programme that supports the Pasifika Uterine Cancer community. Lesssgo @ahlena16 @__idalene__ @lifesapeachnz

Fakaaue lahi @cancersocietyauckland and @percy.nz for walking with us. We appreciate you.

A month loaded with cancer awareness campaigns, each one touching our community in real time.

Today we’re turning our focus to Blood Cancer. A cancer that doesn’t form a lump, doesn’t show up on the outside, and often hides behind symptoms we mistake for everyday life:

🚩 Fatigue that feels impossible
🚩 Bruising that doesn’t make sense
🚩 Infections that keep coming back
🚩 Fevers with no clear reason

In 2026, we’re asking our communities to pay attention. Blood Cancer affects children, teens, adults... anyone! And early action changes everything.

If this post makes you pause, share it. Comment. Tag someone you love. Your voice might be the nudge that helps someone get checked.

✨ And just like that… the Westfield Local Heroes season comes to an end ❤️🤍❤️

But before we close this chapter, we need to say one BIG FA’AFETAI LAVA to every single person who stopped, voted, shared, encouraged, tagged, messaged and backed @elizabethfaalili 🫶🏽

You didn’t just cast a vote.
You helped shine a light on the work we do for our Pasifika families navigating cancer — and reminded us that our community sees us 🥹

Being part of Westfield Local Heroes has been such a special journey, and whatever happens next… we’re already grateful ❤️

Now for the part you’ve been waiting for 👀
🏆 The results will be announced 20 October

So if you wanna know how this story ends…
stay close. Until then... thank you, thank you, thank you, aiga. We couldn’t do this without you.

🤎🤍🖤🤍🤎

POV: you came to the shops and left knowing a little more about Taime 🫶🏽✨

Vinaka vakalevu to everyone who stopped for a talanoa, asked “what do you guys do?”, shared your own cancer story or simply took the time to connect with us... we see you, and we appreciate you 🫶🏾

And @westfieldmanukau Thank you for giving Taime the kind of platform that goes beyond a potential grant. More people now know we exist. More people know where to turn. And honestly… THAT is what truly matters ❤️‍🩹

September always feels heavy... a month stacked with cancer awareness campaigns.
Prostate. Childhood. Thyroid. So many illnesses touching our aiga, our famili, all at once.

This time, we’re turning our attention to Thyroid Cancer. A cancer that often hides in plain sight. Sitting quietly in the neck, the thyroid controls energy, mood, metabolism… and when something goes wrong, the signs can be subtle, easy to miss, or brushed off as stress.

In 2026, we’re asking our communities to stay alert.
Fatigue that doesn’t go away.
Changes in weight.
A lump in the neck.
A voice that suddenly shifts.

If you notice something, make an appointment to see your Doctor.

Some of the most meaningful moments from our Westfield Local Heroes activation were about the people we met ❤️🤍❤️ To every shopper who stopped, asked about our story, listened to ours and then trusted us with your own stories of how cancer has touched your life 🫶🏾 Thank You. Those conversations reminded us why being seen matters.

Thank You @westfieldmanukau for creating more than an opportunity for funding. You’ve given Taime a space, a platform and a chance to reach Pasifika people who may never have known we existed. So they know that if cancer ever touches their fāmili, there is a place for them.

Voting ends tomorrow, you still have time to Vote 🗳
