Ariel, 19 years old, CA

Wish submitted by:

Ariel was removed from her mother due to neglect and allegations of sexual abuse by family members. She is a polite, sweet young lady who has struggled with mental health and has worked hard to be where she is now. Ariel is now a non-minor dependent living on her own and goes to beauty school. She hopes to get a job soon and enroll in college.

Ariel wishes for an e-bike to help her travel to school and, once she secures employment, to get to and from work. Public bus transportation is not always reliable, and living in the desert makes walking or waiting for the bus especially difficult in the extreme heat. An e-bike would provide Ariel with dependable transportation, making it easier for her to stay on track with school, access job opportunities, and build a successful future.
