Help Me Heal from Topical Steroid Withdrawal (TSW)

Your Support Can Change My Life!

Dear friends, family, and kind-hearted supporters,

I never imagined I would be in a position where I would need to ask for help in this way, but today, I am reaching out with a plea that could truly change my life. For the past five years, I have been battling Severe Atopic Dermatitis, a relentless skin condition that has left me in unimaginable pain. My body has been through so much, and now, I am suffering from Topical Steroid Withdrawal (TSW)—a condition caused by my skin’s dependency on steroid creams that were meant to help me but ultimately made me worse.

My Daily Struggles
It has completely turned my life upside down. The withdrawal process is agonizing—constant burning, peeling, bone-deep itching, and raw, inflamed skin. My body is weak, and on most days, I struggle to even move. I have lost a lot of hair, a big handful every day. In 2023, my condition forced me into complete bed rest for seven months. Imagine being trapped in your own skin, unable to perform basic activities, unable to sleep, and feeling hopeless. The emotional toll has been just as devastating as the physical pain, and the financial burden has left me and my family struggling.

A Ray of Hope: CAP Therapy in Thailand
After years of searching for answers, I discovered CAP Therapy in Thailand—a treatment that has given hope and healing to many in my community suffering from TSW. In 2024, I traveled to Thailand for my first round of CAP therapy, and the results were nothing short of miraculous. After just three months, my skin improved by 50% approx.—something I never thought possible. But it got worse again because I couldn't continue the treatment.

However, due to financial constraints, I had to stop the treatment before completing the full healing process. Now, I need your help to go back and finish what I started. This treatment is my best chance at regaining my life, but I cannot do it alone.

Why I Need Your Support
The costs associated with this life-changing treatment are overwhelming. Every contribution, no matter how small, will help me cover:

CAP Therapy Treatment: $1,000 per month ($250 per week per session)

Medication:
Skin Serum: $100
Antibiotics & Antifungals: $35

Rent & Food: $600 per month

Travel Expenses:
Flight: $300
Local Travel in Thailand: $65 per month

Total Needed : $2,100 per month
For 3 Months : $6000
For 6 Months : $12000

Doctor Name: Jay


Initially, I am planning to stay for three months, but if I can raise enough funds to stay for six months to a year, I truly believe I can achieve full recovery. My doctor has recommended me at least 1 year of treatment.

How You Can Help
Your generosity will mean the world to me. Every donation brings me one step closer to healing. If you are unable to donate, you can still help by sharing my story with your friends, family, and social networks. Your support, in any form, is a gift of hope and a step towards a healthier future for me.

Thank You from the Bottom of My Heart
This journey has been long, painful, and filled with uncertainty, but knowing that there are kind people like you willing to help gives me the strength to keep fighting. Thank you for taking the time to read my story, for your kindness, and for believing in my healing journey.

With immense gratitude, Parul

**Fundraiser Transparency: Supporting Parul**

Hi, my name is Paola Palmiero, and I am also a TSW warrior, having battled this condition for over five years. After undergoing more than two years of CAP therapy, I can personally attest to how life-changing this treatment has been for me.

I have created this fundraiser on behalf of Parul, as GoFundMe does not allow her to open an account and receive funds directly due to her being from India. All donations will be transferred directly to her to support her treatment and recovery.

Thank you for your generosity and support in helping Parul heal!
