The Lost & Found Institute

Tanya is a remarkable young individual whose strength and determination shine through every aspect of her life. Having spent much of her childhood in foster care, she has faced numerous challenges. Rather than allowing these obstacles to define her, she has used them to fuel her incredible strength and drive. Her love for the arts has always been a source of solace and self-expression. Whether through painting, music, or writing, Tanya finds comfort and freedom in creative outlets. She is particularly passionate about painting, as it allows her to express her emotions in ways that words often fail to capture. Tanya is also a dedicated student, consistently striving to learn and grow despite the challenges she has encountered. Her thirst for knowledge is unquenchable, and she hopes to pursue a career where she can help others, whether through art therapy or another service-oriented path. Her strong work ethic and determination are evident in everything she does, from her schoolwork to the support she offers her friends and peers.

Tanya is asking for a new pair of gold Nike Dunks. As a single mom, she doesn’t often get to treat herself, but having a fresh pair of stylish sneakers would give her a boost of confidence and something just for her. The gold Dunks would be a fun way for Tanya to express her personality and feel good while she’s on the go, whether she’s running errands, heading to work, or spending time with her kids.
