The Lost & Found Institute

David grew up moving between foster homes, learning early on how to adapt, listen, and find strength in unexpected places. Now a freshman in college, he’s channeling that resilience into his engineering studies. Every new class gives him another piece of the puzzle, and he’s determined to build a future where he can design, create, and contribute something meaningful. Outside of class, David keeps himself grounded with the things he loves. He plays basketball with friends, where the easy laughter and friendly competition help him unwind. His deepest passion is for horses. During his time in foster care, he participated in equine therapy, an experience that helped him heal and gave him a powerful sense of connection. That’s where his love for horses truly began, and one day he hopes to own one of his own—a reminder of how far he’s come and the life he’s building for himself.

David wishes for a light-colored pair of Levi jeans to add to his everyday wardrobe. He has outgrown and worn out his previous pair and needs a comfortable, durable, and reliable option for school, outings, and daily life. This new pair would become a staple that he can easily pair with almost anything. Helping David acquire a new pair of jeans would make a meaningful difference and boost his confidence.
