From First Up, 5:32 am on 12 December 2019

A cafe owner in Whakatane says offering free food to Whaakari/White Island first responders just felt like the right thing to do. Taylor Ulufonua and his wife Lila Henareh run Cafe 4U and have been giving the responders anything they'd like since the eruption. Mr Ulufonua told our producer Katie Doyle the disaster has left the small seaside community in shock but determined to remain united.
