Ayven G, 5 years old, CA | 1 DAY WAITING

CA DCFS - Los Angeles County

Ayven has been in foster care since he was just 1 1/2 years old due to ongoing domestic violence and his mother's struggle with drug addiction. His father was deported, leaving Ayven without the stability of either parent during his early years. Now in kindergarten, Ayven is a sweet little boy with a big heart. He loves Spider-Man and enjoys playing with his sister. Ayven truly thrives on encouragement and praise, which lights up his smile and helps build his confidence.

Ayven is asking for a bike because it represents fun, freedom, and a chance to simply be a kid while exploring his surroundings. Having experienced instability and loss from a very young age, including time in foster care and the absence of both parents, a bike would give Ayven something that is truly his own. Riding a bike would allow him to play, explore, and feel a sense of independence and accomplishment as he learns a new skill. A bike would also support Ayven's social and emotional growth. It would give him opportunities to play outside, build confidence through praise as he masters riding, and create joyful moments with his sister. For a sweet little boy who thrives on encouragement, a bike would not just be a toy, it would be a source of happiness, confidence, and normal childhood experiences he deserves.
