Softball Glove so Ariah can try out for HS team

Ariah, 16 years old

Wish submitted by:

NM CYFD - Bernalillo County

Ariah came into care several years ago and has not let it slow her down. She is academically driven and will not settle for anything less than her best. Ariah is very fond of books, particularly the Harry Potter series, and spends much of her time learning something new through books. She's a self-proclaimed "nerd." Ariah also enjoys spending time outdoors, including walking, camping, observing nature, and biking. Additionally, Ariah is excited about going to college but is often told that foster care kids "don't even graduate high school," and she is using this as her driving force to excel in school.

Ariah has been practicing with a borrowed mitt to learn how to play softball. She's learned that she naturally great at sports and has great hand eye coordination. This fall and winter, Ariah is hoping to get practice with her foster mom, who also plays softball, to be able to try out for her schools softball team in the Spring 2024.
