Ariana, 21 years old, NJ |

Wish submitted by:

Ariana is a dedicated engineering student who is fully committed to her comeback after taking personal time off from college to address family issues and support her younger brother's needs. Having always prioritized her siblings, she has come to realize the importance of putting herself first for a change. With her steadfast determination and positive attitude, Ariana is a joy to work with. Known affectionately as "Sissy" to her younger brothers, Ariana is also open and approachable, especially when it comes to the division for adolescent services.

Ariana is a dedicated young woman balancing her education with employment, all while making the most of her youth. She is currently living in an independent living program and is approaching the point of aging out of the system. As her support from Child Protective Services is set to conclude soon, Ariana is diligently working to save money for her future. Unfortunately, her limited budget has made it challenging for her to afford essential items. At present, she needs a winter jacket to keep warm during the frigid months as she commutes to both school and work. This holiday season, Ariana's wish is simple: to stay warm and feel confident in her appearance. By gifting her the jacket she has been dreaming of, we can not only help her celebrate the holidays but also acknowledge her hard work as she embarks on her journey toward adulthood and independence.
