59: Fixing Foster Care One Backpack at a Time

Rob Scheer, founder of Comfort Cases and author of A Forever Family: Fostering Change One Child at a Time, joins Julie and David to share his deeply personal journey — from growing up in the foster care system himself, to adopting four children and witnessing firsthand that nothing had changed. When his kids arrived carrying trash bags, Rob didn't just feel the pain — he built a movement. In thirteen years, Comfort Cases has delivered over 300,000 backpacks filled with essential, dignity-restoring items to foster children across all 50 states, Washington D.C., and Puerto Rico. Rob shares what goes into every case (and why every detail matters), how he built a national organization powered by everyday people, and why he believes our legacy is defined by what we give — not what we take.Learn more and donate at comfortcases.org Rob's podcast: Fostering Change Rob's book: A Forever Family: Fostering Change One Child at a Time
