The Lost & Found Institute

Addy is currently living in a kinship placement with her older sister, and the stability of this environment has provided her with the support she needs to grow. She has a deep love for the outdoors, especially on sunny days, as the warmth of the sun on her skin brings her a sense of calm and grounding, making nature one of her favorite places to recharge. Whether she’s taking a quiet walk or simply sitting outside, Addy finds peace in the fresh air and open sky. One of her most cherished activities is writing in her journal, which serves as a personal outlet that allows her to clear her mind, express her feelings, and unwind when life feels overwhelming, helping her stay centered and reflective. Addy also values the time she spends with her family; playing board games together brings her joy, connection, and lots of laughter, strengthening her bonds with her loved ones and reminding her of the supportive people around her.

This season, Addy has her heart set on something small but extra special—a pair of pink Ugg socks. She can already picture how soft and snug they would feel, keeping her warm whether she’s outside soaking up the sun or inside journaling her thoughts. To Addy, these socks would be a little touch of comfort she could carry with her throughout the day. They’d make family game nights even cozier and give her an extra bit of warmth during quiet moments of reflection. It’s a simple wish, but one that would bring her a lot of joy and comfort.
