Years later, after building a life, serving in the U.S. Navy, and growing his family through foster care adoption with his husband Reece, he witnessed his own children arriving with their belongings in trash bags — just as he had decades before. That moment sparked a movement. Since 2013, Comfort Cases has distributed more than 320,000 backpacks and duffel bags to 50 states, Puerto Rico, Washington D.C., and the United Kingdom. More than replacing trash bags, Rob’s mission is restoring dignity, comfort, and humanity to children navigating unimaginable transitions.
