The Lost & Found Institute

Addison is a determined young woman living in a college dorm while pursuing her degree in public policy. Growing up in foster homes, she never had the stable family life that many of her peers did. Instead of letting her past hold her back, she uses it as motivation to make a difference for others facing similar challenges. Alongside her studies, Addison is working to reconnect with her biological family and siblings. This journey is not always easy, but she’s taking small steps toward healing those relationships. Despite the difficulties, she demonstrates a quiet strength. Addison balances her education with her personal growth, focusing on rediscovery and change.

Addison is hoping for a set of stool chairs for her kitchen to enhance both comfort and social connections in her home. With these stools, she would be able to sit at the island while cooking, allowing her to engage with guests, friends, and family without the need to constantly move between spaces. This small addition would create a cozy gathering spot where people can share conversations, prepare meals together, or simply enjoy each other's company. Since the kitchen is already a central space in her home, adding seating at the island would further transform it into a welcoming and functional environment where lasting memories can be made.
