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 requesting a Chick-fil-A gift card so she can have a meal with her two best friends. They haven't been able to spend much time together recently, and sharing a meal would be a special way to reconnect and unwind. Chick-fil-A is one of their favorite places, and this simple outing would give them a chance to laugh, catch up, and enjoy each other's company without worrying about the cost.
