Ariel, 14 years old, PA | 1 DAY WAITING | NEEDED BY 03/27

Wish submitted by:

Ariel is an extraordinary person 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. 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 resilient young woman who has survived abuse since childhood. She is currently attending therapy and is working hard to rebuild her self-confidence. Earlier this year, Ariel experienced hair loss due to the use of chemical products on her hair, and is looking for a way to cover the damage. Right now, she is using a headscarf, but she would like to feel more like her old self as she waits for her hair to regrow. One of Ariel’s goals is to create a look that makes her feel beautiful. Being able to wear a wig for Easter would help her see that she has hope despite the setbacks she has faced.
