Krishna grew up in foster homes, moving from placement to placement until she turned eighteen. Stability was something she rarely experienced, often packing her belongings into trash bags and unsure of where she would sleep next. In this constant cycle of change, she found solace in art and words. Drawing and journaling became her escape, allowing her to express feelings she couldn't always articulate. Through sketching and writing, she learned to process her experiences and make sense of the chaos around her. The pages of her notebooks became a haven filled with dreams, pain, and hope. Now that she’s aged out of the system, she carries those notebooks as reminders of her resilience. With aspirations to attend art school, she aims to share her story through her work and connect with others who felt lost yet continued to dream.

Krishna is looking forward to celebrating Thanksgiving with her loved ones this year, and she would love a stylish pair of boots to complete her holiday outfit. She grew up in foster homes, moving from placement to placement until she aged out of care. She rarely knew stability, and she often packed her belongings into trash bags without knowing where she would sleep next. Now, she can look forward to picking out an outfit that makes her feel beautiful and confident. A pair of boots chosen to match her look would give her something special to wear to the table and keep her warm and stylish throughout fall and winter.
