Teatime with Miss Liz Presents: Rob Scheer of Comfort Cases , May 12th | 3 PM EST Title: From Trash Bags to Dignity: Changing Foster Care One Child at a Time Tagline: No child entering foster care should ever carry their life in a trash bag. Feature Description: This powerful Teatime with Miss Liz welcomes Rob Scheer, founder and CEO of Comfort Cases — a nationally recognized nonprofit transforming the foster care experience for children across the United States and beyond. Rob’s story begins with heartbreak, survival, and resilience. After enduring abuse and entering foster care as a teenager, carrying his belongings in a torn trash bag, Rob eventually aged out of the system and became homeless while still in high school. Years later, after building a life, serving in the U.S. Navy, and growing his family through foster care adoption with his husband Reece, he witnessed his own children arriving with their belongings in trash bags — just as he had decades before. That moment sparked a movement. Since 2013, Comfort Cases has distributed more than 320,000 backpacks and duffel bags to 50 states, Puerto Rico, Washington D.C., and the United Kingdom. More than replacing trash bags, Rob’s mission is restoring dignity, comfort, and humanity to children navigating unimaginable transitions. This heartfelt conversation will explore:* The realities of foster care* Trauma, resilience, and healing* Building purpose from pain* The importance of dignity for youth* Advocacy and foster care reform* Creating change through compassion and action.
