Kisa Vaoga is hoping her new home will be the start of a new life that will see her one day become a judge.

The mother of two this week moved into her new home in Taitā with partner Jaiden Ah-Waihi and children Leiloa, 5, and Jhavis, 9.

Having spent time in a motel after living with her mum, Vaoga is delighted to have found somewhere permanent and suitable for her children. “It feels like home.”
