Ariah, 16 years old

Wish submitted by:

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 is having her very first birthday party since entering the foster care system six years ago. She is so excited about her party and is planning a fun day at the roller skate rink. Ariah would like to have her favorite ice cream cake from Coldstone and cupcakes to enjoy with her friends and family.
