Popular American-Armenian reality star Kim Kardashian's wedding gifts
are going to charity, according to ABCNews.
Having previously worked with the organization that grants wishes
to terminally ill adults, Kardashian reached out to contribute the
gifts from her wedding to Kris Humphries following her decision to
file for divorce.
"It comes to no surprise to Dream Foundation that Kim would take a
difficult and trying situation and turn it into something tremendously
positive and impactful to the families we serve," the foundation's
president, Thomas W Rollerson, said in a statement.
"We are sorry for the circumstances surrounding this contribution,
yet this is Kim's way of paying forward the gestures of love that
were bestowed to her."
Kardashian's donation will be a "symbolic donation in the value of
the gifts she received." Asked how much money that "symbolic donation"
amounts to, Rollerson said via e-mail.
"It's a substantial contribution," he said, "a gesture that will help
hundreds of families in their greatest time of need."
Rollerson went on to praise Kardashian's commitment to the Dream
Foundation: "For years, Kim has been one of our most dedicated and
ready supporters, not only in contributions, but also in the lending of
her time and generous heart. We have personally witnessed her holding
hands and comforting terminally ill adults, offering compassion,
kindness and acknowledgment to the end of life journey. It is by those
acts that a person should be judged - and we are blessed to have Kim
as a part of our service."
Kardashian has repeatedly rebuked reports that she engineered her
wedding for a payday, writing on her blog Tuesday night that she's
"donating the money for all the gifts to the Dream Foundation."
