I invite you to donate a backpack for a child entering foster care for $45.00.

Hi! I’m Hannah, and I am excited to be organizing a fundraising drive for Comfort Cases in Pennsylvania.  I am leading this drive under a “National Campaign for Comfort Cases” that is being led by my friend Rachel, called “Rach4aCase.”

Comfort Cases is an organization that brings hope and dignity to children entering foster care.  These children have been neglected and often feel like they do not matter. Many do not own a toothbrush or have a pair of pajamas. So, Comfort Cases provides backpacks filled with a cozy new pair of pajamas, a new stuffed animal to hug, a toothbrush, soap, and many other personal and fun items. Each day approximately 700 children enter the foster care system, many of whom have suffered neglect and abuse

I am also thrilled we have the opportunity to include CardsCuzWeCare cards of inspiration hope and happiness in each backpack.  CardsCuzWeCare is a platform I created to spread happiness and positivity through handmade cards and other forms of giving.

You can give a comfort case to a child for $45 or you may also provide  50% toward the comfort case at $22.50. All donations made to this campaign will go toward Comfort Cases for kids in the foster care system here in Pennsylvania. I hope you choose to donate and support this incredible organization

We will have a packing party to pack the Comfort  Cases and write cards of inspiration for the each backpack.  Date and time are to be determined.

Please feel free to read more about comfort Cases and all the wonderful things they do if you would like.  ComfortCases.org

Thank you in advance for whatever you can give toward these very important Comfort Cases.

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.
