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.

Your Support is Rebuilding My Life 14 April 2025
Kia ora koutou katoa :)
Firstly, I want to express my deepest gratitude to everyone who has donated and shown me love and support. Your generosity has truly lifted me out of pain — I can’t fully express how much it means to me. From the bottom of my heart, thank you. Because of you, I feel alive again, and I now see a bright future ahead.
I’m currently at the halfway point of my treatment journey. The clinic recommends a minimum of 16 CAP treatments, and while I’ve made incredible progress, I still have a way to go — both medically and financially. So, with humility, I’m asking for continued support to help reach the goal that will allow me to complete this healing process.
While the visible improvements in my skin are amazing, it’s still fragile beneath the surface. Ongoing CAP treatments will help rebuild its strength and resilience.
This photo of my legs were taken just last week — the transformation since I arrived is truly surreal.
Ngā mihi maioha 🫰🏽
