Miz Shayna
I started my foundation because of my family. My mother always taught us that there’s always room for one more chair at the table, and what’s one more load of laundry. She had love in her heart for both the children that she made from love and children that God sent for her to love. I was 7 when Kat became a part of our family; my parents had always been foster parents, so when Kat came she was a welcomed addition. Kat came to us dirty, quiet, sad, underweight, and illiterate. I remember one night while I was doing my homework I heard crying, so I went to see what was going on; what I found was Kat crying in my mothers arm’s saying over and over “Why didn’t they love me?” I watched my mom cradle this 9 year child. I remember the words she told her that day. She said, “Baby I need you, I want you, I love you!” I’d say that I started the foundation to make my parents proud but the truth is I did it so could be proud of the man that I am and the father that I will one day become.
