The Lost & Found Institute

Kristine has been in foster care since she was young, and growing up that way has meant navigating changes most kids her age never face. She loves to draw and write, using her creativity as an outlet for feelings that can be hard to put into words. She dreams of attending college to study psychology and become a psychologist. Her own experiences gave her a deep interest in understanding people and what they go through.

Kristine needs groceries to make everyday life a little easier. As food costs keep rising, something as essential as keeping the kitchen stocked can become a real financial challenge. Providing this would let her shop for what she needs, choose fresh, nutritious foods, and ease the pressure of weekly expenses. For Kristine, this would mean more than just food on the shelves. It would give her a little breathing room and the comfort of knowing there is always something to eat at home. Meeting this basic need would take one worry off her plate and help her focus on the other parts of her life.
