Arius, 20 years old, CA | 38 DAYS WAITING

Wish submitted by:

Arius is an incredible young man who has faced more challenges than most people his age -and he’s met them with resilience, optimism, and determination. After spending much of his life in foster care, he is now focused on building independence through hard work and honest effort. More than anything, Arius wants the chance to work, earn his own income, and take meaningful steps toward financial stability and adulthood. He brings warmth and positivity wherever he goes, lifting the people around him with his energy and spirit. With the right support, Arius has the drive and heart to build a bright future for himself - he just needs a fair shot to get there.

Arius is taking real strides toward independence, and he’s excited to start DoorDashing to help cover his school expenses. However, transportation is currently his biggest hurdle. An e-bike would provide him with a reliable and affordable way to get to work and navigate around town without the need for a car or worrying about storage space. Just this one piece of support could truly open doors for him, allowing him to earn, learn, and move forward with confidence. And don’t worry, he promises to wear a helmet!
