Ari, 21 years old, UT

Wish submitted by:

Ari is a resilient and inspiring young woman who took a bold step toward independence after aging out of foster care. She recently moved into her own apartment, marking an important milestone in her journey. In her free time, Ari finds joy in life’s simple comforts. She loves getting lost in her favorite TV shows, turning up the volume on music that matches her mood, and spending time with animals who bring her peace and companionship. When she needs a reset, she enjoys going for drives. While Ari still experiences hard days, she is excited to finally have a place to call home.

Ari recently relocated to Salt Lake City from Saint George and is currently seeking employment. During this transition period, she needs short-term support to cover basic necessities. A grocery gift card would offer immediate relief by helping her access food while she continues her job search and settles into her new city. This assistance would alleviate her financial stress, allowing her to concentrate on securing stable employment and establishing a foundation in Salt Lake City. This is wish 1 of 2.
