The Lost & Found Institute

Vanessa entered foster care at six and moved between over twenty different homes in twelve years before aging out. This constant change taught her to adapt quickly and build resilience, even when she lacked stability. Now in college, Vanessa is starting a new chapter. She shares an apartment with a roommate and is learning to create her own sense of home. She enjoys cooking, finding joy in making nourishing meals, and loves to sing, using her voice to express herself. Most importantly, she values spending quality time with loved ones, focusing on connection and joy as she builds a life that reflects who she is, not just her past.

Vanessa is looking forward to Easter and has a heartfelt wish this year—she is asking for a pretty dress to wear for the special day. She hopes for something beautiful and spring-inspired that makes her feel confident and joyful as she celebrates. Whether it has soft colors, delicate details, or a twirl-worthy skirt, she wants a dress that feels just right for Easter Sunday. Wearing a pretty dress would help make the holiday even more meaningful and memorable for Vanessa.
