Kirin Riddell,
Board Member
“She’s a supporter.”
While Riddell has been supporting Hearthstone’s fundraising efforts since 2009, she joined the Board in summer 2020 after a trip to Haiti sparked her desire to get more involved. “It’s so easy to love them,” she says of the girls. “[This is] such a supportive positive group of women.” She started the Portrait Project in 2017, where she draws graphite portraits of the girls who graduate RMOF. Other board members say the artwork is “breathtaking” and “more than a portrait... it’s a personality.” She also provides critical one-on-one Zoom assistance for our university applicants. Juanita-Joy Riddell puts it simply: “she’s a supporter.”
