The Lost & Found Institute

Tristan spent most of his childhood moving in and out of foster homes, never staying in one place long enough to feel settled. When he aged out of foster care, he faced adulthood without the safety net many take for granted, which was lonely and confusing. Now, he is intentionally working to reconnect with his biological family, navigating gaps and old wounds while having hard conversations. Outside of family matters, soccer serves as his escape and joy, providing freedom whether he's playing with friends or on his own. Tristan also dreams of opening a home remodeling business one day, inspired by the idea of transforming something worn-down into something beautiful and livable. This goal mirrors his journey of rebuilding his life and relationships. He is committed to showing up and allowing space for growth.

Tristan is asking for a Chick-fil-A gift card so he can take his little siblings out on a special dinner date. With everything going on and money often being tight, it’s not always easy to do something extra just for fun. A simple night out sharing their favorite meals, laughing, and spending quality time together would mean so much to them. This gift card would help Tristan create a sweet memory with his siblings and show them how loved and important they are.
