My name is Cat, and I’m raising funds for my son, Channing. He is bright, energetic, athletic, and full of joy, but his life has been turned upside down by Topical Steroid Withdrawal (TSW).

Before TSW, Channing was always running, playing sports, and chasing every dream in front of him. Now he struggles with constant pain, sleepless nights, and difficulty walking. His skin is raw and sensitive, and even simple movements can bring him to tears. Watching my once lively little boy fight through something so painful has been heartbreaking.

We have tried every safe option here in the U.S., but there is still no clear path or standardized treatment for TSW. After researching and speaking with other families, I learned about healing clinics in Thailand that focus on restoring the body through detoxification, nutrition, and natural recovery when traditional medicine offers little support.

This GoFundMe will help cover:

• Travel to Thailand

• Treatment and medical costs

• Lodging during recovery

• Vitamins, supplements, and supportive care Channing needs here in the U.S.

• Medicine and daily essentials that help manage his symptoms while we prepare for treatment

My hope is simple. I want Channing to heal, walk without pain, sleep peacefully, and get back to running and playing the way he used to. Any contribution, no matter the amount, brings him closer to that reality.

If you cannot donate, please share his story. Every share is a prayer lifted and support added to his journey.

Thank you for believing in his healing and helping our boy find his spark again.
