What is My Life In a Bag?

My Life In A Bag Foundation provides youth who reside in residential facilities and foster care homes the opportunity to own their luggage.

Why?

The harsh reality is that many of these youth enter and leave the care facilities with their belongings stuffed in black trash bags. This degrading act leaves a lasting mark of worthlessness, as there are countless times youth’s belongings are mistaken as trash and thrown away. This also leaves them feeling as if they too are something to be collected and disposed of.

Motto

Empowering Children To Carry A SMILE!
