Our Board

kristin riddick bodendorfer, Founder

Kristin Bodendorfer is the mother of six children. She and her husband of 34 years run a window treatment installation business, The Blind Man. Kristin attended YSU for Early Education and ran her own daycare in California while her husband served in the Airforce before moving to Ohio. Prior to starting DIVA Donations she worked 18 years looking for missing people and reuniting families on several television shows and for Ancestry.com. While raising her 4 daughters she realized what a financial struggle families face trying to send a child/teen to attend a dance/special event. This led Kristin and her daughter to pick up extra dresses to help friends attend a dance. That was the beginning of DIVA Donations.
