The Lost & Found Institute

Haley is living with her older brother and finally starting to feel settled and supported. Despite everything she has gone through, her face lights up when she talks about animals, especially dogs. Being around them makes her feel calm and safe. For Haley, animals are more than just pets—they help her heal. They provide comfort and understanding when she needs it most. She dreams of working at an animal shelter and hopes to become a veterinarian one day. Haley wants to care for animals the same way they have cared for her. For her, it's not just a job; it's a personal mission. Animals have helped her through tough times, and she wants to give that same love and support back to both animals and people. Her dream is all about healing and making the world a better place.

Haley wishes for a dress to wear to her upcoming Valentine’s Day dance. She would love a pretty pink dress—something that feels special and helps her feel confident when she walks in. Having a dress just for this occasion would make the night even more meaningful, giving Haley the chance to celebrate, have fun, and make a sweet memory she can hold onto.
