Small Business Stories: Heidi Webb, Director of Development at Comfort Cases
Heidi Webb became involved with Comfort Cases before its official formation and served as the organization’s first board member, motivated by her personal understanding of the foster care system. The organization, founded by Rob Scheer, was inspired by his own experience in foster care, including the demeaning practice of using trash bags to transport personal belongings. Rob’s vision was to replace trash bags with backpacks, giving dignity to foster children.
Comfort Cases’ mission goes beyond providing items; it also advocates for foster children, raising awareness about their journeys. Webb focuses on ensuring that Comfort Cases reach social workers and first responders to replace trash bags with backpacks, though financial support remains an ongoing challenge. The organization listens to feedback from those in foster care, continually adapting to their needs, such as including feminine care products.
Through community engagement, Comfort Cases aims to dismantle stigmas around foster children, highlighting their potential to succeed, as evidenced by Rob’s story. Fundraising remains essential to maintain the organizationʼs efforts, with community support being key to its longevity.
