Ariah, 16 years old, NM | NEEDED BY 02/01

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 has never been to the Circus, and this year, it is located right down the street from her home! This wish will allow Ariah and a friend to attend the circus together, and they plan on riding their bikes to the event. She is most excited to see the acro-yoga and gymnastics on the horses, as she used to take part in both as a little kid.
