Supporting Families, Filling the Gaps
Lint Rollers & Lemonade began with a simple belief: small acts of kindness can make a big difference. Inspired by personal experiences and the generosity of our community, we set out to provide support, comfort, and relief to families navigating medical challenges. Thanks to our incredible network of donors, volunteers, and sponsors, we've grown—helping families across Central and Northern Maine when they need it most.
Our Mission
We exist to fill the gaps for children facing serious illness by providing the information, items, and services they need but may not easily access. Our goal is to make requesting help simple, ensuring families get the extra support beyond traditional funding sources.
​
From comfort items and entertainment to gift cards, travel assistance, and sibling support, we're here to help make difficult times a little easier for families who need it most.

Sienna's Legacy
How Lint Rollers and Lemonade Began
Lint Rollers & Lemonade was founded in honor of Sienna White Probert, a resilient and compassionate young woman who faced cancer with grace. What began as a blog—created by Sienna and her mom to support others—became something more after Sienna passed away in 2018.
Inspired by the kindness their family received, her mother, Sharyl, founded Lint Rollers & Lemonade in 2021 to help other families facing serious medical challenges.
The name reflects Sienna’s journey—lint rollers were always nearby during chemo, and lemonade was one of the few drinks she could enjoy.
Today, the organization fills the gaps for families in need, carrying on Sienna’s legacy of generosity and support.
