Every day, 700 children enter foster care in the United States due to abuse or neglect. For a child, entering the foster care system is often a frightening and stressful experience. Being taken away from the place they once felt safe and being surrounded by strangers in unfamiliar territory, is a terrifying thing to go through.
Last year, we distributed more than 22,000 Comfort Cases and we are on track to distribute 25,000 Comfort Cases in 2022 to meet the growing demand throughout the country and around the world.
Comfort Cases' mission is to eliminate the demoralizing practice of placing children in homes with their belongings stuffed into trash bags. Each "Comfort Case" is filled with essential items including a new set of pajamas, a new blanket, age-appropriate hygiene kit, book and a stuffed animal to be given to youth in foster care. With children entering foster care daily, and more than 400,000 children in foster care nationwide, it's so important to not just raise awareness, but to also provide hope and dignity to them.
So, put simply, YOU help to make a real difference to vulnerable children. Thank you again for your support of Comfort Cases and please continue to help us supply Comfort Cases in 2022.
Yours in gratitude,
Rob Scheer, Founder
