Tetraplegic to be Deported

Semisi Ma'afu Samiu,is a client of Supercare4u.com in Auckland. He is a non resident of New Zealand and tripped over a child's plastic bike in Auckland in May 2006, crashing on to a concrete surface and injuring his spine, leaving him without the use of his limbs.
He has been declined New Zealand residency. In a letter dated December 3, Immigration New Zealand informed the family that there was no alternative but to deport him. All appeals have been dismissed and he would have to depart immediately.
Mr Samiu is supported financially by his family and draws no welfare benefit. ACC has covered his rehabilitation, physiotherapy and transport, and has provided a motorised wheelchair, the bed and a hoist to move between the two.
Immigration NZ said the Removal Review Authority concluded living in Tonga would be sufficient. Samiu would have a reduced life expectancy but the cost of his disability on the health system meant it was in the public interest for him to return.
Life can be hard for some. We wish you all the Best Semisi . God Bless .
