My name is LaShea Perry, and I'm currently, a student at the University of Colorado Denver earning my bachelor's Degree In Criminal Justice with a concentration in victims services. I support The Shayleee Foundation because I want to ensure that kinship care families are given the support and resources they need to care for any child in their care. And I believe in raising awareness about child abuse and neglect for no child deserves to be raised in that type of environment.
