About Ārio's personality

Ārió has been humming & singing before she could talk. Music has always been a part of her soul. She has a natural kindness that seems far beyond her years and has a deep love for animals, especially dogs. Ario’s heart is so big and full of love. One of her favorite things to do is compliment people, whether it’s telling you she loves your hair or that you’re doing a great job, she loves to spread kindness with her words. Her energy is wild, her spirit is sweet, and her love is genuine.

What are Ārio's favorite activities?

She loves spending time with her family. She loves to build pillow & blanket forts, having living room dance parties, or helping out in the kitchen. She’s a little singer who knows every nursery song by heart. Pretend play is one of her faves, one minute she can be a chef and the next minute - she’s a superhero or a princess. Gymnastics is teaching her strength and confidence. She’s a fast learner and is currently learning to write. Every day with her is full of play, growth, and love.

How would $25,000 impact your family?

$25,000 would mean everything to us. I’m an Air Force veteran and full-time student. Her dad and I are trying to build a better future for our babygirl. We’re currently living with my in-laws while my partner works full time and I stay at home. I left my job to return to school and not working has been tough on us financially. I didn’t grow up with much and we’ve never had a place to truly call our own. We just want to give our daughter the stability, comfort, and opportunities she deserves.
