With her reputation as a unique performer with a diverse range of
talents - from
comedienne with razor sharp timing to coloratura soprano - Kristin
wanted to lend her support in a unique way, too.
And so Maddie's Corner was born - an organization celebrating the bond
between people and their pets while lending a "helping paw" to those in
need: People helping Animals- Animals helping People!
Our Vision for Maddie's
Corner is to inspire a more
humane, thoughtful and tolerant society that will benefit the quality
of life of both people and animals.
Our Mission as we begin
this project is to bring
attention and support to animals in need - more specifically, homeless
animals in shelters/rescue - and groups working on their behalf, as
well as to highlight the many ways animals help people in need and
enrich our lives. We hope to increase awareness about responsible pet
ownership and the joys of including animals in our lives, to educate
about and to inspire humane attitudes toward animals, and to provide
resources to those groups working directly with animals in need as well
as those working with animals to assist people in need. In addition, we
will periodically initiate activities benefiting human causes that will
include the participation of animals to convey our message. The
hallmark of Maddie's Corner is that animals, whether as the message or
the messengers, will always be active participants in our activities.
Some of the organiations our work has supported include:
- Almost Home Animal Rescue &
Adoption's Training Wheels community outreach
- Sit, Stay, Read
- Animal Relief Fund NY
- Central Texas Feline Rescue
- Helping PAW
- Right Action for Women
- Gal to Gal Foundation
- Breast Cancer Research Foundation
- Invisible Children (for Haiti Relief
Efforts)
