Support My TSW Journey Back to a Healing Climate

  • Thank you Everyone so far!

      11 November 2025

    I am so grateful for everyone's donations so far, I am far beyond grateful. I have an incentive to reach $10,000-$12,000 by the end of the month as I want to apply for the DTV, which allows me 5 years in the country but I only plan to stay until April 2026. Reaching this incentive will relieve the financial pressure and the stress of immigration. The rules are that I have to leave the country to apply for the visa. My plan its too return back to Bali as the processing time takes around 10 days, so funds will go towards making this all possible as well as paying for treatments at the Bali clinic, accomodation and flights back to Bangkok where il be able to return and finally have that pressure removed from me so I can just focus solely on healing my body.

  • BACK IN THAILAND

      22 October 2025

    Kia Ora everyone 🫰🏽

    I just wanted to give a quick update — I’m back in Thailand now and have been here for about 5 weeks. Sorry it’s taken me a while to post! The past couple of months have been go, go, go with getting everything sorted and settling back in.

    It feels good to be back in a place where I can focus fully on healing and resting again. I’m so grateful for everyone who’s supported me and helped make this possible — it truly means the world. 🙏

    I’ll keep sharing more as things unfold, but for now, I just wanted to say thank you and let you know I’m safe and doing my best to heal, one day at a time.

  • MADE IT TO BALI!

      7 August 2025

    I have been in Bali for about 2 days now, settling in and the plane ride is always exhausting for me and my skin due to many irritants along the way, but as soon as I got out of the plane into the warm heat in Depensar, my skin was already loving it. I am grateful to be starting back at treatment tomorrow. So I just want to thank everyone who has shown me love and support with their kind donations so I can continue the treatment I need to enjoy and live my life, instead of being bound to a bed back home in New Zealand. Aroha nui 💚

  • One year of TSW

      29 July 2025

    It’s been one full year since I made the decision to stop using topical steroid creams, a decision that changed my life in the most painful, yet transformative ways.

    I’ve walked through fire, through flares that felt endless, through sleepless nights, through days where breathing hurt. But I’ve also found moments of peace, deep self love, and connection I never knew possible. Thailand gave me a taste of that peace, a place where healing felt possible, and where hope lived in every sunrise.

    Since being home, things have been harder again. But I’m still here, still showing up, still committed to healing.

    Thank you to every person who has supported me so far, whether through donation, sharing my story, or sending me love from afar. You’ve helped carry me through.

    If you’re reading this now, I just want to say, your support means more than you know. And while I’m not asking for anything in this exact moment, I want you to know I’m preparing for what comes next. Healing is still my full time fight, and I’m not giving up.

    With all my heart,

    Te Rima 💚
