Support Te Rima's Recovery
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, accommodation, travel expenses, and medical costs (also in Thailand) associated with my recovery from topical steroid withdrawal. I'll be taking my mother with me as I am too debilitated to travel and look after myself at this raw stage.
If funds are not met, I will find other means to reach goal.

Goal update 4 December 2024
Firstly I want to thank each and every one of you who have donated to this page to help me on my healing journey and getting me to Thailand for the CAP therapy. I am overwhelmed with the amount of love and support I have received since posting my condition on my social media platforms, I did not expect it at all. I appreciate every single one of you, my family, my friends, and even people I don't know who have contributed, thank you all so so much.
Just as I thought we were nearing closer to my goal, I received the costs of the CAP therapy from the clinic in Thailand, who have been recommended to me by so many other TSW warriors, and its going to cost more than what I expected so I have had to increase the goal post.
This amount will help with mine and my mothers return flights to Bangkok from Auckland, NZ, accommodation, transport costs, food and utilities, and the CAP therapy for 6 months. I am bringing my mother with me as my support for the first month over the holidays to help me during the first stages of therapy. Our goal is to leave for Bangkok next week so I can go through the consultation and start my first session as soon as possible. The sooner I can get there the better.
I believe everything will fall into place at the right time and with everyone's koha (donations) and prayers this will all come to past.
Thank you all again for your love and support.
Ngā manaakitanga ki a koutou kātoa
