Evie's Journey: A Fight Against Server Eczema
Since the day she was born, little Evie has been battling a condition that most people think of as just a simple skin irritation- but for her, its been a daily source of pain, discomfort and emotional struggle. Evie suffers from severe eczema, also known as atopic dermatitis, a chronic skin condition that causes her skin to become extremely dry, itchy, cracked and inflamed.
Eczema is surprisingly common in children, but severe cases like Evie's is rare and deeply challenging. While many children experiences mild flare-ups that improve with time, Evie's eczema has never let up. Over the years, she has tried every cream, ointment, and treatment recommended- prescriptions, natural remedies, dietary changes- but nothing has brought her lasting relief.
Her skin is constantly irritated, and the unbearable itch keeps her awake most nights. As her parents, we watch helplessly as she scratches until she bleeds, just trying to sooth the burning sensation. The lack of sleep and constant discomfort are now taking a toll on her mental health. She often cries in pain, and her once joyful spirit is becoming to be overshadowed by exhaustion and frustration.
Eczema does just affect the skin- it affects quality of life. For Evie, every day is a struggle, and the emotional impact is growing. She is only a child yet she has to carry the weight of a condition that even adults find hard to manage.
We now feel we have to explore advanced private treatment options, that the NHS have failed to offer Evie, including specialised therapies and consultations with specialist paediatric dermatologists in London. By doing this we hope, Evie could finally experience comfort, sleep and peace of mind.
We are raising funds to help cover the cost of these treatment and give Evie a chance to live a life every child deserves- free from pain and itching.

Update on Evie’s Journey
We wanted to share a heartfelt thank you to everyone who has supported Evie so far. Your kindness and generosity have helped us take an important step forward.
Last week, we were able to see a private paediatric dermatologist—something we couldn’t have done without your help. The appointment was thorough, and for the first time in a long time, we feel like we have a clear path forward. Evie has now been given a personalised treatment plan tailored specifically to her severe eczema.
It won’t be an overnight fix, but we’re hopeful. We’re due to return for a follow-up appointment in 8 weeks to assess how well the treatment is working and make any necessary adjustments.
This is just the beginning of Evie’s healing journey, and we’re incredibly grateful to have your continued support as we move forward. Thank you for standing by us—your support means the world.
With love,
Evie’s Family
