## Resource

Rob Scheer, founder of the nonprofit Comfort Cases, joins the podcast to discuss his mission to eliminate the indignity of foster children carrying their belongings in trash bags. Drawing from his own traumatic childhood in the system and the moment his own adopted children arrived with nothing but plastic bags, Scheer shares how he transformed a 28-year banking career into a life of purpose. The conversation dives deep into the realities of the foster care system—challenging common myths about demographics and "problem children"—while highlighting the incredible impact of his organization, which has distributed over 265,000 backpacks filled with essentials to youth across the globe.
