Kristin Stadum (Washington DC. - U.S.A.) Bestowed with the Rank of Dame Commander of the Order of Wisdom and Learning for: .....outstanding and most dedicated support towards reading and ensuring the supply of books and therefore knowledge to those least able to provide or obtain their own.
Kristin's peers speak very highly of her and inform us in their nomination
of Kristin for PHR recognition that she constantly gives her time and effort
and heart to the charities she supports and for whom she volunteers. Some of her charitable/supportive roles include: DC Books to Prisons:
Kristin has volunteered at DC Books to Prisons for 15 years, and is
currently serving on the board of Directors.
2000 Libros: In response to the refugee crisis on the southern US border and the separation of children from their parents, Kristin used her experience from working with DC Books to Prisons to start a charity to provide Spanish-language and bilingual books to shelters holding detained migrant youth called 2000 Libros. With some help from friends she researched where the children were held and contacted each shelter asking if they wanted book and what kind they would prefer. While initially only planning on collecting and distributing a limited number of books (as implied with the name), the need has (unfortunately) only increased, and after a bit more than a year over 5,000 books and magazines have been distributed across the US. Initially most books came through donations from individuals, but through Kristin’s hard work larger donations from publishers and non-profits have become more common. And all this is done from her living room. Here are links to some of the news articles and programs who have highlighted the work of Kristin and 2000 Libros – https://www.facebook.com/robertsonmarcella/videos/1785940811523723/ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_juRvum_ZTo https://www.huffpost.com/entry/2000-libros-separated-immigrant-children_n_5b50c193e4b0de86f48ad65a https://bust.com/feminism/195536-2000-libros-delivers-books.html The Reading Connection: For the last 15 years Kristin has been an integral volunteer at The Reading Connection, a non-profit organization that improves the lives of at-risk kids and families Washington, DC, by using books to inspire a passion for learning. Each year, The Reading Connection reaches over 1,300 children and distributes more than 11,000 new books throughout the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area. As part of the charity, Kristin creates lessons and reads to children at a shelter for homeless families who have been victimized by abuse. Breast Cancer and Multiple Sclerosis Kristin has been an active fundraiser for Breast Cancer research for many years, in particular by participating in three-day charity walks across the US. A few years ago, Kristin was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis, so she has also taken on various fundraising projects to fight that disease as well, including more three-day charity walks, which are increasingly becoming difficult for her to do. Hard to find a more deserving recipient of Honours recognition by the PHR. Congratulations! |
