The Lost & Found InstituteBilly grew up in foster care, moving from one place to another and never quite feeling at home. Each new move meant new rules, schools, and people, which made him tired and frustrated. He learned not to get too comfortable because things could change at any moment. But there was one thing he always loved: being outside. Running, climbing, and feeling the wind made him feel free and happy. Now, for the first time in a long while, Billy is in a foster home where he can stay for a bit. He’s starting to feel a bit normal with a routine and friendly faces at the dinner table. He knows he has a cozy bed to return to every night. He spends his days outside, playing basketball, riding his bike, and running just for the fun of it.
Billy is asking for a new pair of roller skates for his birthday. Since trying skating at the park, he has loved the feeling of gliding, the wind on his face, and learning new tricks. Skating gives him freedom and excitement, and it helps him stay active outdoors. With his own skates, he wouldn't need to borrow worn-out ones from the community center; he could practice anytime. More than just a gift, the skates would be a personal item that represents stability in his changing life.

"I just wanted to say a huge thank you for thinking about my wish for a new pair of roller skates! Ever since I first tried skating at the park, I’ve loved the feeling of gliding, the wind on my face, and learning new tricks. Skating gives me a sense of freedom and excitement, and it’s a fun way to stay active outdoors. Having my own skates means so much to me, not just because I could practice anytime, but because they are mine, something stable and personal in my life. No more borrowing the worn-out ones from the community center! Your support means a lot, and I really appreciate it. Thank you again!"
