Ariel is an extraordinary young woman who has faced significant challenges from an early age. Her mother passed away during the COVID-19 pandemic, leaving Ariel and her siblings to live with their father, who was both mentally and physically abusive. Currently, Ariel is living with her aunt and is in therapy. She is just beginning to feel comfortable expressing her true feelings to others. Despite everything she has endured, Ariel has a strong desire to help children who feel unheard. She aspires to become a child psychologist in the future.

Ariel is a sweet young lady who has always found it a bit challenging to make friends. She has been navigating through anxiety and depression, but recently, she’s been making significant progress thanks to therapy and living with her Aunt. With her birthday approaching, Ariel is eager to try something memorable and different this year. She has expressed her desire to celebrate with her siblings at Beat The Bomb, where they can work as a team to defuse a bomb before it detonates. Ariel is currently focusing on building her social skills in larger groups, and this experience excites her as it pushes her beyond her comfort zone. After struggling with various challenges in her past and developing a comfort zone around solitude over the years, participating in this paint bomb adventure will not only be fun but also foster collaboration and connection with her loved ones. Ariel is hoping for a small birthday gathering that includes four premium tickets for the paint bomb experience. This celebration would mean the world to her, allowing her to create joyful memories with those who truly love her.
