Loriza Ali
Loriza Ali is a dedicated mother in her 40s who has been living in New Zealand for over a decade, working multiple jobs to support her son, Nathan, who has cerebral palsy. Despite her efforts to bring Nathan to live with her, her visa applications have repeatedly been denied due to strict health requirements imposed by immigration authorities. Ali is currently appealing for ministerial intervention, advocating for her son's right to join her in New Zealand, where she believes they would receive the family support necessary for Nathan's care.
