Donate to Erika Bryant's Family in Crisis

Hello, my name is Trisha Bell, and I’m reaching out with a heart full of hope and a plea for help on behalf of a strong and loving single mother, my sister, Erika Bryant, who is doing everything she can to care for her three beautiful children—while facing one of the most difficult challenges of her life.

Recently, Josephine (affectionately nicknamed Jojo), her oldest child, was diagnosed with lupus—a chronic autoimmune disease that has turned their world upside down. Since the diagnosis, Jojo has been in and out of the hospital, battling flare-ups, extreme fatigue, and serious complications. Right now, she is hospitalized again, and her condition is critical.

As a full-time working mother, Erika has always been fiercely independent, working tirelessly to provide for her family. But the emotional and financial toll of her child’s illness is becoming overwhelming. Between medical bills, missed workdays, transportation to and from the hospital, and caring for her two younger children, she is stretched beyond her limits.

She is doing everything she can, but right now, she needs help. The funds raised will go toward:

• Medical bills and hospital expenses

• Transportation and parking costs for hospital visits

• Childcare for her younger children during hospital stays

• Basic living expenses while she misses work to be by Jojo's side

No mother should have to choose between being with her sick child and keeping a roof over her family’s head. Your kindness, whether it’s through a donation or simply sharing this campaign, means the world to our family.

Thank you for taking the time to read this. Your support, no matter the amount, is a lifeline right now. Please help us lift some of the weight off Erika’s shoulders so she can focus on what matters most—helping her child heal.

With gratitude,

Trisha and the entire Bryant Family
