Raising Our Gifted Children with Sara Troy and her guest Rob Shear, on air November 13th.
ROB SCHEER Founder of Comfort Cases with Jon Sternfeld
A FOREVER FAMILY a truly inspiring memoir by Rob Scheer, the founder of Comfort Cases, about his turbulent childhood in the foster care system and the countless obstacles and discrimination he endured in adopting his four children.
Rob Scheer never thought that he would be living the life he is now. He’s happily married to his partner and love of his life, he’s the father of four beautiful children, and he’s the founder of an organization that makes life better for thousands of children in the foster care system.
But life wasn’t always like this.
Growing up in an abusive household before his placement in foster care, Rob had all the odds stacked against him. Kicked out of his foster family’s home within weeks after turning eighteen—with a year left of high school to go—he had to resort to sleeping in his car and in public bathrooms. He suffered from drug addiction and battled with depression, never knowing when his next meal would be or where he would sleep at night. But by true perseverance, he was able to find his own path and achieve his wildest dreams.
Poignant, gripping, and inspiring, Rob’s story provides a glimpse into what it’s like to grow up in the foster care system and sheds necessary light on the children who are often treated without dignity. A courageous, candid account of life in the foster care system, his memoir is also a timely call to action.

I have just read Rob’s book and was blown away by the upbringing Rob had and yet today comes from such heart and conviction towards the need to help children who are dismissed and no cared for.

Since her youth, Barb has spent decades passionately involved with several animal charities. Most recently with the Canadian Animal Assistance Team (CAAT), she has served nationally and internationally to help spay, neuter and rescue both dogs and cats. Locally, she has co-chaired with her business partner the Qualicum Cat Rescue Society. Barb’s work with BC Guide Dogs, raising five puppies for service and autism support fostered her tremendous devotion for canine service. Collectively, these experiences empowered Barb to pilot the founding initiative of VICD upon the request from Comox Airforce Base seeking such a program in 2013. Both of Barb’s parent’s being WWII military veterans also stirred her unwavering vision for VICD’s purpose. Leaning on her research training and problem-solving experience’s gained thought to complete her Master’s Degree and acquired thought running a successful local business for more than 20 years have helped contribute to her tireless accomplishments.
