Ariana, 7 years old, CA | 10 DAYS WAITING

Wish submitted by:

Ariana is a bright, energetic, and creative girl who loves staying active, spending time outdoors, and trying new things. She enjoys basketball, gymnastics, swimming, art, and spending time with friends. Ariana is curious and enthusiastic about learning, with strong reading and spelling skills while continuing to develop her math abilities. She entered foster care in 2023 following a serious incident involving her mother's alcohol use that compromised her safety. Despite the challenges and uncertainty of being separated from her family, Ariana has shown resilience, adaptability, and a positive attitude. She continues to build friendships, participate in activities she enjoys, and make progress in school.

Ariana's only holiday wish is for a Neochrome-colored Micro scooter, which many of her classmates have and love. Ariana is happiest when she's active and outdoors, so her own scooter would give her another fun way to stay active, build her balance and coordination, and enjoy recreational time. The scooter's colorful Neochrome finish and light-up wheels make it particularly exciting for her. Beyond being a fun holiday gift, it would offer independence, build confidence, and provide enjoyment during a time when so much in her life has been outside her control.
