inspiring communities to bring dignity and hope to youth in foster care
On any given day, there are approximately 437,500 children in foster care in the United States. Most of them are removed from their homes with little more than the clothes on their backs. If they do have any personal belongings, they are given a trash bag in which to carry them.
“I remember carrying a trash bag and feeling worthless, like nobody cared about me.”
- Comfort Cases founder Rob Scheer
At Comfort Cases, we believe that every child deserves to feel a sense of dignity. Every child deserves to pack their belongings in a special bag that they can call their very own. Every child deserves to have a cozy new pair of pajamas, a brand new warm blanket, and a new stuffed animal to hug during the traumatic transition into foster care.
We are committed
to engaging communities and educating the public about the issues facing youth in foster care. We believe in the importance of encouraging young people to lead by example and to take action to alleviate the suffering of children in the system. We provide volunteer opportunities for all ages so that the entire community can truly be involved together.
You Can Help
make a difference in the life of a child in foster care
We believe in a compassionate community that cares for the most vulnerable among us, and we can all do something to bring comfort to children in foster care. From making a monetary contribution, to organizing a Donation Drive, shopping our Amazon Wish List, or volunteering at our national center, there are many ways for you to make a difference. Please join us as we work to eliminate trash bags from the system and show children in foster care that they matter.
