About this episode

Hilary Russo interviews Rob Scheer about his journey from foster care to founding Comfort Cases, focusing on trauma, resilience, and restoring dignity to children in the system.

What happens when a child is handed a trash bag instead of a sense of belonging? And what if that child grows up to change the system that failed him? In this powerful and special Podcasthon episode of HIListically Speaking , host Hilary Russo sits down with Rob Scheer, founder of Comfort Cases, to talk about trauma, resilience, and what it really means to restore dignity to children in foster care. From homelessness and heartbreak to building a global movement that has helped over 300,000 kids, Rob's story is the definition of turning pain into purpose. But this conversation is bigger than foster care. It's about empathy, community, remembering that we all have a role to play to walk each other home.
