The problems in the foster care system are not only a problem in America but all over the world, and the fact that children leave foster care with a trash bag, a rubbish bag, or a bin bag is heartbreaking. Rob, the founder and CEO of the Comfort Cases organization explains the importance of taking the initiative and get involved! A goodwill campaign, YDWD (“You Donate, We Deliver”) was operating in the UK during the height of the pandemic. The initial contact among both parties’ organizers eventually led to the idea for cooperation between the two. ‘Comfort Cases’ and YDWDs’ decided to expand the Comfort Cases mission together. Now Katie, Sarah, and Rich, together with a group of 9 other individuals are now a part of the team. When first talking to Sarah, Rob was thrilled to find out that YDWD delivered 100.000 meals. The number itself shows all the effort they put in. The number of children in the foster care system is overwhelming. There are 96,000 in the foster care system in the UK and 438,000 in the USA. One of the problems with care leavers in the UK is that when they reach the age of 18, they are no longer wanted in the care homes. Foster children in the UK often have 3 placements a year. According to Richard, one of the driving principles is bringing light to the issue as it exists globally. The Foster Care Fortnight UK is the biggest foster care awareness raising campaign whose idea is to help people understand and value fostering, and acknowledge the positive impact that it can have on the lives of children. Richard explains how he, prior to learning about comfort cases, was largely unaware of the situation in the UK, and around the world in general. It is worth mentioning that Comfort Cases UK is launching with 70+ cases, to be delivered in May.The ‘tag still on them’ is a touching story about Rob and his daughter when she got her first ever new pajamas. You can find more details about all the events on our Facebook page, Instagram profile, and TwitterOn the following links http://www.comfortcases.org/ https://www.facebook.com/Comfort-Cases-UK-101986278711820 https://www.instagram.com/comfortcasesuk/  For any additional information on all our projects, you are welcome to send us an email at Hello@comfortcasesuk.org Hosted on Acast.
