Saniya has been in the foster care system since she was 12 and currently lives with her grandmother, who does her best to provide for her despite limited resources. Saniya is a passionate young lady with a keen interest in current events and hopes to become a lawyer to amplify foster youth voices. Her hobbies include reading the news and real-life stories, reflecting her no-nonsense approach to life.

Introduced to biking through the Michigan Youth Opportunity program, Saniya found that a bike would not only help her commute to work but also offer an enjoyable activity outside of work. She prefers biking over driving, as she wants to be financially independent before taking on car insurance costs. A bike would significantly improve her daily life, enhancing her independence and resilience
