The Lost & Found Institute

Krishna grew up in foster homes, moving from placement to placement until she turned eighteen. Stability was something she rarely experienced, often packing her belongings into trash bags and unsure of where she would sleep next. In this constant cycle of change, she found solace in art and words. Drawing and journaling became her escape, allowing her to express feelings she couldn't always articulate. Through sketching and writing, she learned to process her experiences and make sense of the chaos around her. The pages of her notebooks became a haven filled with dreams, pain, and hope. Now that she’s aged out of the system, she carries those notebooks as reminders of her resilience. With aspirations to attend art school, she aims to share her story through her work and connect with others who felt lost yet continued to dream.

Krishna is requesting a new heating pad because she suffers from severe cramps that cause her significant discomfort. Having a dependable heating pad helps her manage the pain and stay comfortable, especially during the worst moments of her cramps. It's one of the few things that provide her relief, allowing her to rest and take care of herself.
