The Lost & Found Institute

Layla entered foster care at twelve after running away from home. Her life before was unstable, but she's learned to navigate the system. She is now focused on her future and determined to move past her past experiences. She lives in a foster home and is slowly opening up to a few supportive people. Layla dreams of becoming a tattoo artist because drawing has always helped her express herself. She wants to use tattooing to tell stories and promote healing and empowerment.

Layla really wants a gold bracelet because it’s something she’s dreamed about for a long time. She loves how beautiful and elegant it is. To her, it’s not just jewelry; it means a lot about her personal style and confidence. She has thought about it for months, imagining how it would feel to wear it and how special it would be to get it as a gift. Layla doesn’t usually ask for much, so this bracelet means even more to her. It’s not about how much it costs or the brand; it’s about how it makes her feel valued and loved. Having this bracelet would remind her that her wishes are important and that someone cares enough to get her something that truly represents who she is. It would be a special gift and a moment she would always remember.
