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 looking to buy a pair of black sandals that she can wear both to work and for everyday outings. With her new job starting soon, she wants something stylish yet comfortable that she can easily match with different outfits. A good pair of sandals will help her stay cool and confident during long days while providing a simple, versatile option for both professional and casual settings.
