The Lost & Found Institute

Tony’s journey has been tough, but his strength really stands out. He lost his mom when he was young and went into foster care, which was full of ups and downs. Thankfully, his best friend’s family adopted him, giving him the love and stability he needed. Despite everything he’s been through, Tony is determined to not let his past define him. One of Tony’s biggest passions is acting. He loves drama and theatre class, where he feels truly alive, diving into different roles and expressing feelings that go beyond words. He dreams of moving to California one day to become an actor, and he holds onto that dream tightly, no matter how far away it may seem. Tony’s story is all about resilience, hope, and finding family in surprising places.

Tony is asking for a pair of Timberland boots to rock this winter—something rugged, warm, and ready for whatever the season throws at him. He wants boots with solid traction for wet sidewalks, sturdy construction that lasts, and comfortable support for long days on his feet. With Timbs, he can stay dry, warm, and stylish at the same time, pairing them with jeans, hoodies, or a jacket and feeling confident from morning to night.
