And their favorite. Suave. Really . I am impressed. Three fragrances preferred over bath and body works. Everyone has a story. How one man used his difficult upbringing as a source of strength to help the children following in his foot steps. Terry steve ns of bristo, virginia, wrote to us about her High School Friend rob sheer who inspired her and countless others to offer compassion and hope to children in foster care. Take a look. I went to high school in man man sass virginia in the 80s. I had a friend rob sheer. We lost touch but reconnected in 2013 on facebook. I then learned of the entire time rob was in high school, he was in foster care. None of his friends knew at the time. There was a negative stigma attached to being a foster kid. Rob carried his belongings in a trash bag from home to home. When he was 18, became homeless and would coauch surf or sleep n his car. He is now a successful business man and father to four amazing children he and his husband adopted from foster care. They came to their home with their belongings in trash bags. Rob knew how that could affect a childs selfesteem. They started comfort cases. These cases are distributed via social services and other nonprofit agencies. Comfort cases is an all volunteer organization. My 19yearold daughter and i are on the board of directors. In three years, we have packed nearly 25,000 cases for children. Rob has inspired me to become a better person, to look outside of myself, my issues and to my community and what i can do to become more involved in helping those who need help. Rob has become a role model to my daughter who has been involved with comfort cases since she was 15. Rob is an abe mazing person. Terry and rob, hi. Still tearing up over it, right . Thats just amazing. What was it like for you . Can you in a couple of sentences, to be so alone in this big world, in a house with strangers basically. What was that like . It wasnt until my senior year of high school, it was the fall, and i became homeless, and knowing you age out, dont you . Aged out. Back in the late 70s, early 80s, when you turned 18, you were out. I was out with my trash bag. And i couch surfed and i slept in an abandoned bathroom and i would go to the Public Library and i would read until the librarian would tap me on the shoulder and tell me it was time to leave. Who did you turn to when you needed someone . No one. Myself. Yeah. You know, the statistics show that the kids that are in foster care end up in juvenile detention centers. We have our prisons full of people touched by foster care. And that just wasnt the path that i was supposed to go down. Terry, when its so great that you brought this story to light. When you looked back and realized what he had been going through all these years when you thought he was probably like every other kid what struck you after seeing him again after all those years . I think the strength and the fact that he parlayed his situation into helping other children and creating this nonprofit and by his adopting children in foster care that needed homes. It was just a total strength. You said he helped your daughter too. In what ways . We found out about comfort cases on facebook. And she wanted to bring it to virginia. I think hes become a role model to help the youth, not just my daughter, but other children that have been involved with comfort case, learn that they need to be a part their community and give back. Arent you glad theres facebook . Right . The fact that you never knew during high school, because you never had a home you could invite i mean, you cant really have a normal life, can you . No. I will tell you, there were kids who knew and there were teachers who knew and they would give me a little bit of extra food at lunchtime and i went back to my 30th High School Reunion and i apologized to kids and i apologized because i was that kid that stole food off their plate. Because i didnt know if i was going to eat over the weekend. And i just knew that getting an education was whats going to make it. See, most people think that the color of your skin separates each one of us, but its not. Its our education level. Yes, youre right. You need to write a book. How you went from that situation, getting an education, becoming successful, turning i really recommend you do that. Theres so many hurting people out there that feel like theres no hope. Were going to sing a song for you though. Yes, a very special song for this very special pair of friends coming up after this. The flu virus. Its a really big deal. And with fever, aches, and chills, mom knows it needs a big solution an antiviral. Dont kid around with the flu, call your doctor within the first 48 hours of symptoms and ask about prescription tamiflu. Attack the flu virus at its source with tamiflu, an antiviral that helps stop it from spreading in the body.
