Aeric, 14 years old, CA | 10 DAYS WAITING

Aeric is an outgoing and engaging young man with a keen interest in nature and cars. He is currently in his fourth foster home since entering the foster care system in 2018. Unfortunately, this time he is without his twin sister, as they were removed from their parents’ care due to incidents of sexual abuse and neglect. When they entered foster care, neither of them had consistently attended school. However, Aeric has since begun attending school regularly and is gradually building his background knowledge to achieve good grades.

Aeric doesn't have anything particularly special that belongs to him. He is trying to become more engaged with his friends, and after recently moving to a new foster home, he could really use a new bike. Having a bike would give him more independence and allow him to spend time making new friends in the neighborhood. Additionally, riding a bike would provide Aeric with the opportunity to spend time outdoors and connect with nature, which he finds calming.
