Support Te Rima's Recovery

$10,609 of $40,000 goal
Given by 214 generous donors in 17 days

Seeking support on my journey through topical steroid withdrawal to access healing therapy in Thailand that could help me regain my health.

Auckland

Kia Ora, my name is Te Rima, and I am an artist. For years, I've battled a severe condition that began with eczema and was worsened by prolonged use of topical steroids. These treatments, which I thought would heal me, have left me in a challenging state that affects my life physically, emotionally, and creatively.

I've explored various healing methods, including naturopathy, Chinese medicine, and countless diets, but true relief has been elusive. Recently, I learned about Cold Atmospheric Plasma (CAT) therapy in Thailand. After seeing its benefits for others and doing my research, I believe this could be a crucial step toward healing.

I’m reaching out for support to make this journey possible. The funds will help cover CAT therapy, alternative natural treatments, travel, accommodation, and medical needs. Every donation, no matter the amount, brings me closer to a life with less pain and a chance to reclaim my art.

Thank you for supporting me on this path.

Ngā mihi nui,

Te Rima

Use of funds

The funds raised will be used for alternative therapies like CAT therapy in Thailand, accomodation, travel expenses, and medical costs (also in Thailand) associated with my recovery from topical steroid withdrawal. If funds are not met, I will find other means to reach goal.

Medical costs and Parental support   14 November 2024

As I have over-looked the costs of everything I have adjusted the end goal to support medical costs and I will be taking my mother with me as I am too debilitated to travel and look after myself at this raw stage.

I want to validate you, that this problem is real. It happened to my family member too and it was agonising that doctors would not admit that topical steroid cream was the cause. This must change! Kia kaha & best wishes. What happened to you is real.
