SAVE LIVES

Havelock North, Hawke's Bay

As I write this my heart is aching, my stomach churns. This didn't have to happen to my baby. This doesn't have to happen to anyone's child. Topical Steroid Withdrawal is an iatrogenic condition brought on by continuous use of topical steroids, the standard but overly prescribed treatment for eczema. Many doctors still argue it doesn't exist. It most certainly does.

We found the treatment that saved Luke through her first documentary, Preventable: Protecting Our Largest Organ. Now, documentarian Briana Banos is traveling the world again, to find new answers about moving forward. What can we really do to prevent this from happening? She's recruited us to speak about our experience and our run in with Child Protective Services and Oranga Tamariki! Do you know that children across the world have been REMOVED from their parents while suffering TSW?

This condition almost killed our family. There were plenty of times I thought my child would be better off dead bc of such suffering with no end in sight.

But now he's healed!!! It costs a lot of money to get to AUS/NZ, and by next week we are all cut out if the money isn't raised.

What a brave young boy and a super brave family. I have know this family since 4 Aug 2020 and what a journey to get back to what most of us take for granted (normal skin) They had to fight for it, work hard at it and have the patients for the healing to happen. MANY ROUGH NIGHTS AND DAYS. YOU GOT THE BREAKTHROUGH OF SUNSHINE AND MAY ALL THE PEACE AND JOY THAT LIFE CAN BRING BE YOURS. YOUR FAMILY DESERVES EVERY BIT OF JOY AND PEACE.
