Help Eriana with a Bone Marrow transplant

Eriana suffers a tumor. Please help us getting her relocated! We are still seeking donors too.

January 1st, 2021

We all know 2020 was a tough and devastating year globally for many people and families because of the COVID-19 pandemic. We want to extend our prayers and thankfulness to you and your families as we have prayed for all and supported and done the best we can to come together and be there for you all as well. We want to also thank you all for all things you have done for Eriana to help keep her healthy and safe. Thank you everyone for your support and prayers.

We are still seeking bone marrow donors and unfortunately the urgency and need has increased. Eriana gained a tumor. Her residence is not suitable for sickle cell patients and Eriana had to undergo surgery. She needs to immediately find a new home!

Please at this time, we are asking for any help and contributions for this urgent matter! We have extended our forms of contributions. Please find it in your heart and your abilities to either contribute via Facebook Facebook, CashApp, Venmo or Zelle. Also just as importantly and with great measure, please spread the word within our communities, family and friends if you can take a swab test with Eriana's BeTheMatch.org page or help and direct us to any avenues or resources to help Eriana recover and beat Sickle Cell.

Again, Thank you so much from Eriana and all of her family and God Bless you and have a safe and prosperous 2021 year!!

Hi friends and family, and welcome visitors. 🙂
We know it has been a while! So here is an update: Eriana is now 4 years old. 🙂 We’ve reached out and have had many registrants, and have had some potential matches, but no luck yet. 🙁

Eriana still desperately needs a bone marrow transplant and she is looking for a bone marrow donor!

That’s why we are grateful BeTheMatch.org along with Hamilton Recreation Center are helping with another bone marrow drive. Join us:

Saturday September 24th 2016

Meanwhile, Eriana is still braving on. She had an emergency visit last month, but she toughed it out and is stabilizing…
If you missed out on this event last year, it was fun and informative! Eriana and her family and friends warmly invite you and all to come out for a great day of fun and information. She definitely needs help.

Eriana and her family and friends would like to thank you so much for your support. If you would like more information about BeTheMatch.org participation and registration, visit Eriana’s BeTheMatch.org link, or if you would like to make a GoFundMe donation to gather funds for this process.

This is Eriana :)

September 24, 2015

This is Eriana. She is 3 years old. Isn’t she adorable? Behind that innocent and pretty smile, Eriana has Sickle Cell Disease.

Sickle cell is a genetically inherited blood disorder. It is named for the shape of the red blood cells, where the red blood cells tend to collapse and become sticky preventing movement of blood and oxygen to the tissue.

In Eriana, it causes severe pain and can damage affected areas. It is a lifelong condition she has to live with.
But a procedure known as a Bone Marrow transplant can fix it. Imagine, she will not have to live in pain and can live a normal life!

Eriana, her family and friends and generous and helpful organizations and groups, are ready to help her.
Please join us.Thank you

This is the website for Eriana. Welcome!
