The Lost & Found Institute

Chloe’s childhood was unstable as she moved between foster homes, which fostered her fierce independence. After aging out of the system, she chose to shape her own future and pursue her dream of becoming a makeup artist. Enrolling in cosmetology school, she learned makeup, hair care, and skincare techniques. What began as a personal expression turned into a career dedicated to empowering others through beauty. Living independently, Chloe is determined to make her mark in the beauty industry, proving that her past does not define her future.

Chloe wants a new gold ring as a personal reminder to look for beauty in everything. Life can get tough, but she’s learning to take a moment to reflect and find the good, even in hard times. For her, this ring isn’t just a piece of jewelry; it symbolizes her growth and her promise to see the positives in herself, others, and the world. A gold ring feels right to her because it represents warmth, strength, and value—qualities she wants to carry with her every day.
