I wanted to join this campaign to help OUR children. I want each and every child to know that they are loved, and they have a purpose. Each of Rachel's Comfort Cases will show each child and young adult that they are special and wanted. One day, we will all leave this earth and we will leave behind all our belongings. The only significance of us that will be left, is how we made  others feel and the positive impact we left.

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.
