Four-year-old girl fights for life after freak accident at junior rugby carnival

Daily Mail · 2 hours ago

A four-year-old girl, Kaleia Mu'a, remains in critical condition after being struck by a buggy whilst attending the Prime Nines Tournament at Tugun Rugby League Club on the Gold Coast. The incident has left her with severe injuries including a fractured skull, multiple brain bleeds, internal bleeding and a broken leg, prompting her parents to remain at her bedside as she fights for recovery.

The family now faces mounting financial pressures alongside the emotional trauma of the accident, leading supporters to launch a GoFundMe campaign to help ease the burden of hospital stays, lost wages and ongoing care expenses. The community, including the Gold Coast Tigers club and local Tongan villages, has been urged to rally around the Mu'a family during what the fundraiser describes as an unimaginable period, with organisers emphasising that donations of any size will support the family through the uncertain months ahead.
