Meet Krissy, the Founder
Pictured here at age 10 with adopted dog, Snuggles.
Krissy is currently a senior in high school and actively preparing for college. She loves to sing! She’s a member of her school’s praise team and band and sings at her church regularly. She’s happy to sing at special events, if asked. She also plays the piano, guitar and flute. Krissy uses her musical talent to hold concert fundraisers benefiting KRIS Foundation.
Krissy was born with a heart to help others. She’s been raised in a Christian home since her adoption from the Philippines at age 22 months. A remarkable event at age 6 — her first return visit to her orphanage — where she would come face-to-face with orphans and kindle a desire in her heart to give back. It would propel her to dedicate her young life to the cause of the orphans and other disadvantaged children.
