Help The Bryant Family with Medical Expenses

Donation protected
Dear Friends,

The Bryant Family needs our help!

Travis Bryant and his wife KayLynn have three beautiful children, their youngest Kelsey a high school junior, their middle child and newly married son Lance, and their oldest child Alexandrea a college graduate.

Lance and his wife Brianna are new parents, their first baby Bexley Virginia Bryant, weighing 6 lbs. 5 oz. measuring 20" long, made her grand entrance the evening of 3/12/24. Amidst this incredible moment, as Travis welcomes the arrival of his first grandchild, we are also reminded of the challenges our friend and his family are bravely facing.

For over three decades, Travis has been a pillar of strength in our small mountain communities across Colorado including Eagle, Oak Creek, Mancos, Phippsburg and Steamboat Springs. Travis is not just a teacher; he's a mentor, a coach, and a guiding light for countless students.

Known affectionately as "Mr. Bryant the Shop Teacher," his dedication to shaping young minds and nurturing talent has left an indelible mark on generations. Fostering student awareness and empowerment of their capabilities of building by utilizing power tools and understanding safety of Industrial Arts through education is his super power. These students have built more than furniture, they have built confidence and life skills! As an athletic coach, Travis has been a beacon of light for countless youth, instilling values of discipline, perseverance, and teamwork.

Inspiring students, inside and outside his classroom room to reach new heights by defeating obstacles of fear and doubt through his guidance, instruction, and encouragement has become his legacy.

Now, our beloved Travis faces the toughest challenge of his life. A diagnosis of an aggressive cancer has turned his world upside down, requiring him to seek specialized treatment and travel far from home. As he embarks on this difficult journey, we stand by his side, ready to offer our unwavering support and love.

We humbly ask for your assistance in his time of need. Your donations will help alleviate the financial burden of medical expenses and travel costs, allowing Travis to focus on his health and well-being, and blessed opportunities to hold his first grandchild. Every contribution, no matter the size, will make a meaningful difference in his life.

Travis's spirit remains unyielding, lifted by the outpouring of love and support from our community. His words echo with determination: "With all the positive people of our community helping, I AM GOING TO BEAT THIS! Thank you, thank you, thank you!"

As we join together to rally behind Travis and his family, please keep the Bryant family in your thoughts and prayers, and consider donating to support them on this challenging path.

Please feel free to share this GoFundMe page in any way you have the capacity to. We greatly appreciate you, your compassion, and thank you deeply for your kindness!

With gratitude and love,
Susanmarie Oddo and Kristyl Boies
Friends of The Bryant Family & proud colleagues of Travis
