A Christian education was always important to Bob & Karen Lemons. When they realized that even their local Christian school had experienced severe "mission drift," where instruction not only strayed from but was in contrast to the Word of God, they pulled their three children and decided to homeschool them, although this was never something they saw themselves doing. Mrs. Lemons had gone from public school teacher to stay-at-home mom to private school teacher to homeschool teacher. She knows the challenges of teaching her own kids at home. They're hard! The Lemons family now sees the light at the end of the homechooling tunnel. They have launched one son, who finished his bachelor's degree in two years and will head to medical school. They're about to launch their middle son, who will attend college and play hockey. Their baby is still at home, finishing his high school work.

Lemons-Aid began at the onset of the global COVID-19 pandemic when schools around the world first closed their doors to in-person learning. Many learners lost access to all education as schools across the world closed their doors. Immediately, Mrs. Lemons, who had just received her principal’s license and planned to seek employment as an administrator, put everything on hold to offer free live, online courses to students who needed to learn. Students from multiple states and every U.S. time zone joined together for writing classes, which soon became Lemons-Aid Education, taking Mrs. Lemons in a new direction.
