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 moved to Salt Lake City from Saint George and is working to rebuild stability after experiencing a period of homelessness. She is now housed through a housing voucher and is actively searching for employment. She was generously donated a mattress, but does not yet have a bed frame. A bed frame is essential for creating a safe and comfortable sleeping space and for turning her new housing into a true home. This support would help Ari rest properly and continue focusing on securing work and maintaining housing stability.
