Need my hands back!

$45 donated

My hands are my worst nightmare, but my most needed assist.

Hawke's Bay

Hi, I’m Sam I’m 35 mum of two amazing children, under 5.

Ive been battling with extreme pompholyx eczema on my hands for the past 4 years. I’ve been through specialist and been on every drug I can possibly be on with all the lifestyle changes that go with it too, but it’s not getting better it’s forever changing and I just want to be able to be a mum and not be in pain and prep food and bath the kids with out worrying I may lose a nail or get a infection in my skin for the 2nd time that month.

I want to get off everything and try a naturopath approach now my body isn’t handling the hard drugs and I want to be around for my kids. Or last option I can try is an injection once a year costing 30k, this is my last ditch attempt but I want to try other options first. Thank you if you can help me out even if it’s so I can afford to take probiotics supplements to help, every little bit helps

Use of funds

Its getting worse   17 March 2025

So this crap is always evolving and changing,

It’s going under my nails now! That’s a new level of pain and then when I use tropical ointments on my hands no where else my face blows up and I get a huge rash that covers my face and I end up in a burns mask to get relief 🥲

2% Effective Fee
On average, fundraisers pay just 2% to use Givealittle. This is one of the lowest effective fees in New Zealand fundraising. We charge a 5% platform fee to cover the cost of running the platform. Because most donors choose to top up their donation to cover this fee, the effective cost paid by fundraisers is about 2%. That means around 98 cents of every dollar raised goes to the cause.
