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 very special young lady who typically doesn't make a big fuss over her birthday. While she does get excited, she doesn't have many friends to celebrate with. However, this year she wants to change that. Ariel is determined to focus on what she has rather than what she lacks. It would mean the world to her to celebrate another year of life with her siblings, from whom she was almost separated. This is part 2 of 2, so that Ariel can enjoy a fancy dinner on her special day!
