Leila Anoa’i and her siblings are seeking support for their father, wrestling legend Samu Anoa’i, as he faces serious health challenges. Samu Anoa’i is a former professional wrestler known for his tenure in WWF, WWE, and NJPW, as well as being a member of the legendary Anoa’i wrestling family.
After overcoming liver cancer and a transplant in 2019, Anoa’i recently suffered a kidney stone attack, heart attack, and sepsis infection, leading to a weeklong hospitalization and mounting medical bills. Now, doctors say he requires urgent open-heart surgery.
With the closure of his Wild Samoan Pro Wrestling Training Center due to COVID-19, his wife has been the primary earner, but her insurance coverage in Florida is limited. The family has launched a fundraiser with a $60,000 goal to help cover medical expenses.
“All funds will go directly toward my dad’s recovery,” Leila Anoa’i said.
Supporters can donate or share the campaign to help spread the word.
