The little girl's distinctive, green-striped plastic bag has a cartoon picture of a blue elephant on the front. The name K Owen is written inside.

A child's life might be at risk after she lost her bag holding vital medical equipment during the Kiwi and Toa Samoa league game at Whangarei's Toll Stadium.

The little girl's distinctive, green-striped plastic bag (pictured above) has a cartoon picture of a blue elephant on the front. The name K Owen is written inside.

Her parents are desperate to get the bag back. The equipment in it may not be of use to anyone else but the little girl's health is at serious risk without it.

" I've contacted Starship [Hospital] and they are in the process of organising replacement equipment for us, but it isn't cheap and until we get the replacement equipment [or her lost ones back] her health is at risk," the girl's mother said.

If anyone knows where it might be, please call Rachel, phone 09 434 7676.
