It’s a big day for Lee!

Today is a big day for Kids to Love Founder and CEO Lee Marshall – it’s graduation day!

Lee walked across the stage today at Walden University to receive her Master’s of Social Work with an embedded Trauma Certificate. She graduated summa cum laude with a 3.9 GPA!

Lee decided to pursue her master’s degree because of the opportunities it would open for her to meet the needs of children in foster care on a deeper level. Her passion and purpose is to break the cycle of foster care, reaching beyond short-term solutions to long-term success for our kids.

“My life was meant for this,” Lee said. “God doesn’t call the equipped, He equips the called. Earning my Master’s degree in social work is another way of fulfilling His call on my life to serve children in foster care.”

We’re so excited for Lee, as she’s worked tirelessly and put in long hours to get this degree. It’s not easy running a nonprofit that serves thousands of children in foster care, and she puts in long hours to make sure our kids have everything they need to succeed. Piling coursework on that has meant a lot of sleepless nights and stress. On top of all that, she still finds time to be a loving wife and mother.

Congratulations Lee!
