• A 12-month NHS wait for dermatology and allergy specialist referrals left the Staffordshire family seeking alternatives.
• A TikTok video detailing their struggle garnered 800,000 views and spurred Paige Meakin to launch a GoFundMe campaign.
• More than £5,000 raised to date will cover private dermatologist visits, allergy tests, dietitian consultations and specialty blood screenings.
• Paige plans to use remaining donations to purchase eczema-friendly clothing and bedding and to distribute care packages to other affected families.
