#CharitableCois

Something beautiful happened recently. François Arnaud shared the Comfort Cases mission with his community, and the response has been nothing short of extraordinary. If you are here because of François, Welcome! We are so glad you found us. And on behalf of every child in foster care whose life will be touched by your generosity - thank you.

Every year, thousands of children who are experiencing foster care are uprooted from their homes with no warning and then given trash bags to carry their belongings - a silent but crushing symbol of neglect. Comfort Cases replaces shame with dignity through sturdy backpacks containing brand-new items, including pajamas, socks, a blanket, a stuffed animal, a hygiene kit, a dental kit, other age-appropriate supplies, and personal notes of encouragement by the packer of the case.

Every dollar makes a difference in restoring dignity and hope to youth in foster care. Join the community in honor of François and the team at Comfort Cases to bring support to these children when they need it most!

Sponsor A Comfort Case

Comfort Cases® are backpacks filled with comfort and personal care items for youth entering the foster care system. Typically, children are given a trash bag to pack up their belongings when they are removed from their homes. It costs approximately $55 to provide one Comfort Case filled with age-appropriate essentials like cozy pajamas, a warm blanket, and hygiene products for youth who need them most.
 

Meet Rob and Hear the Story Behind the Mission

We invite you to take a few minutes to learn more about where Comfort Cases came from and why this work matters so deeply. Our founder, Rob Scheer, sat down with Lesli Foster of WUSA9 for a conversation that takes you inside the Comfort Cases mission from Rob's own experience in foster care, what drives him every single day, and what it truly means to hand a child a backpack instead of a trash bag.

A Note From Rob Scheer
I do not take lightly what it means when someone uses their platform to shine a light on children in foster care. These are kids who are so often invisible, and every voice that speaks up for them matters enormously. What you are doing by being here, by learning about our mission, and by considering a gift is exactly the kind of community care that changes lives. Not just for one child, but for the generations that follow. Thank you for finding us. Thank you for caring. And thank you for helping us write the next chapter for children who deserve so much more.

With deep gratitude,
Rob Scheer
Founder, Comfort Cases
