The Lost & Found Institute

Krystal's life has been filled with ups and downs, and she’s always searching for a place where she belongs. She entered foster care as a baby and has faced a lot of uncertainty. Krystal was adopted twice, hoping to find a forever home and the love she needed, but sadly, both adoptions didn’t work out. This left her feeling lost and without a real home. Right now, she’s in a treatment center, working hard to understand and manage her feelings. It’s a tough journey, but she’s determined to heal. One of the things that brings her comfort is drawing. For Krystal, art is like a safe haven where she can express herself and take a break from her worries. When she draws, she creates a space just for her, where she can think about her past and dream of a brighter future. Through her art, Krystal has found a way to cope and keep moving forward, one drawing at a time.

Krystal is asking for a pair of gold heels to wear to her upcoming school dance, a night she's been excited about for weeks. She wants a pair of stylish shoes that adds a touch of sparkle and elegance to her outfit to help her stand out and feel confident. The school dance is a chance to have fun, make memories with her friends, and feel beautiful in a way that’s true to her. The gold heels would be the finishing touch that ties everything together, helping her walk into the night feeling excited, empowered, and ready to shine.
