Dear Valued Donor,
Your generosity has the power to change lives, especially for children in foster care, residential group homes, and crisis centers. It's heartbreaking to consider how these young ones feel as they move from one place to another, often carrying their world in a black trash bag or a worn-out box. This is where your support becomes vital.
By providing them with new or gently used luggage, duffle bags, and plastic storage bins, you help restore their dignity and sense of belonging. Alongside these essentials, we must ensure they have access to hygiene products, undergarments, socks, and pajamas—items that not only meet their basic needs but also convey to them that they are valued and cared for.
Every child deserves to feel cherished and secure, no matter their circumstances. With your contribution, we can show these children that they are not disposable and that they can hold onto their support systems, memories, and cherished belongings as they transition between homes.
Together, let's give them the hope and assurance they need to thrive, reminding them that they matter. Your impact is profound, and we are deeply grateful for your kindness and commitment.
With heartfelt appreciation,
Charles "Bizkitt" Smith, Founder & CEO
My Life In A Bag Foundation & Beyond the Bag
My Life in a Bag Foundation is a beacon of hope for youth living in foster care, residential group homes, and homeless youth. We believe that every young person deserves to feel valued and supported, especially during challenging times.

Our mission is to nurture a future where these young individuals can embrace their potential with dignity and confidence, reminding them that they are not alone on their journey toward a brighter tomorrow. My Life In A Bag Foundation's goal is to bring them "Beyond the Bag", with even more resources and support.
