I’m super excited to be a part of Rach4aCase with my friend Piper to raise funds for Comfort Cases. I think that everybody should donate to Comfort Cases because this is a great way to help kids that are in an uncomfortable situation. I was inspired by Linda Madden to help this wonderful cause, and everyone deserves to have things that they call their own, and with the 1,500 children in the New Hampshire foster care system, everyone should do a little bit to help cheer them up, and make their day.

Hi!  I’m Rachel Roberts, Miss Teen World America, and I am organizing a nationwide fundraiser for Comfort Cases, a nonprofit organization headquartered in my hometown of Rockville, Maryland. I need your help!

The mission of Comfort Cases is to inspire communities to bring dignity and hope to youth in foster care.  This is a mission that I am passionate about.  There are approximately 437,500 children in foster care in the United States.  Each day, approximately 700 children enter the foster care system, many of whom have suffered neglect and abuse. And now, with the pandemic, there are even more families struggling to feed and care for their children.  When these children are removed from their homes, they leave with little more than the clothes on their backs. If they do have any personal belongings, they are given a trash bag in which to carry them.  I know that we can do better!

Kids entering the foster care system in your state need your help now!   Let’s work together to raise funds to provide backpacks filled with necessities like shampoo and soap and comfort items like pajamas, books and stuffed animals.  The gift of these simple items - all new and all theirs - tells the child, you matter.
