Meet Aridia!
Ten-year-old Aridia is a happy, social, and music-loving girl who lights up every room she enters. Born with Spina Bifida, she doesn’t let her condition slow her down. She loves drawing, coloring, and spending time with her friends at school—especially when she can join them on the rug to play and laugh together.
Aridia is full of personality! She adores cartoons like My Little Pony and Princess Sofia, has a soft spot for McDonald’s, and feels most at peace by the ocean. At home, she uses a rolling office chair to move around, but she currently has no medical equipment to support her mobility needs.
Her therapist shared that Aridia has outgrown her old wheelchair and needs a properly fitted one to improve her posture and comfort, especially due to hip flexor contractures. With the right support, Aridia can keep doing what she does best—spreading joy, singing her heart out, and living life to the fullest.
