The Lost & Found InstituteVanessa 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 wishes for a blue beach cruiser bike to help her embrace the simple joys of summer and create positive memories. Having a bike would give her the freedom to spend more time outdoors, explore her community, and enjoy peaceful rides on warm, sunny days. For Vanessa, this is an opportunity to experience independence, build confidence, and create moments filled with joy and hope. A beach cruiser bike would provide her with a way to enjoy the outdoors, discover new adventures, and make lasting memories.
