Here at Pink Lemons, through our donations of suitcases and basic essentials, empowerment workshops, educational scholarships or unique experience like traveling aboard, we are helping youth, finish the phrase, “ when life throws you lemons…”
Pink Lemons provides services and programs to youth-in-care (foster care youth) throughout Illinois, as well as under-resourced and underserved youth throughout Cook County and Chicago.
When Youth in care, age out of foster care on their 18th birthday, these children are provided a black trash bag to pack up whatever belongings they may have. These trash bags send the wrong message to children whose biggest desire is to just be part of a loving home. Our suitcases provide dignity and help send a different message. A message that communicates that you are not alone and others care!
