It’s not too late to bid on my gear and help out a good cause!

I want to take this opportunity to address a comment related to my eBay auction and explain the situation…

I am extremely upset!! I have been bidding on two items since day one,
since the very start of the ebay bidding and had the winning bids for
the items with only two days left till the end of the bid. I just
realized you removed and cancelled the items and relisted the items all
over again. I was browsing through ebay and decided to check if there
were any new items listed and as I was scrolling down I see the two
dresses I was bidding on under new listings!! Kim you even added pics
of yourself in the dresses which weren’t on the original listing! I
cannot believe this!
Can you please let me know what is going on. This is very unfair
especially because of the fact that I have been spending so much time
bidding and checking on a daily basis. I was super excited that I was
going to win these dresses. I was really looking forward to getting
these as a Christmas gift for myself. I think it’s great what you guys
are doing for the Dream Foundation but what you did is really wrong!

I have also sent emails to you at kimsaprincess on ebay. I just
received a response saying “this is not Kim. This is the company she
hired to list her items. If Kim finds any errors whatsoever in the
listings she forces us to cancel them and relist. Sorry.”

The funny thing is there weren’t any errors on the original listing.
I even have proof because I printed out the items yesterday before they
got cancelled with the dates and descriptions. The same information
that was on the original listing is on the new one!

As a fan I believe I deserve some answers Kim. In the words of Jennifer Aniston, what you did was so uncool!

First of all, Eve: I’m sorry about the trouble you went through. Those auctions that you bid on did not include a picture of me wearing the clothes being auctioned. Those pictures create more interest, and in turn make more money, which then increases the amount going to the Dream Foundation! The organization AuctionCause that is posting and running all of the auctions for me forgot to add some pictures to the listings. Once they realized this they took the auctions down and relisted them. Again sorry for all of the trouble! Good luck bidding!

I hope that clears everything up!
XOXO,
Kim

YOU can make dreams come true!

The other day I decided to go to the DreamFoundation office to meet some of the staff!

It’s so easy to attach your name to something but i really wanted to see how the DreamFoundation operates. I learned so much from going there and it really did make such a difference in my experience to see what it really takes to make a dream happen!

I saw the process from start to finish! I heard different stories about amazing people who have had their dreams fulfilled. People dream for, family reunions, health care, trips to Disneyland, to go to a concert, meet a celebrity, anything, you name it! The purpose of the dream foundation is to grant a dream to a terminally ill adult. I saw that there are different stages in a dream, and anyone can help!

You can go HERE to adopt a dream and help out with dreams that are in progress. These dreams are granted to people who are given a life expectancy time. The people who are given eight weeks or less, are put on an emergency dream list. Those dreams are fast tracked.

Seeing the pictures of these people made it all so much more real for me! And if you look at these few examples, hopefully it will make it more real to you!

Seth retouched.jpgSeth is a 39-year-old who was diagnosed with ALS and has a life
expectancy of 6 months or less. He was once an avid skier before this
illness struck. His dream was to ski again before he dies. Dream
Foundation aided to transport him to the Gunstock Adaptive Ski Resort
in Laconia, NH. He was joined by eight friends and had a wonderful time.

Walgate Family1W.jpgLynn is 38 and in her final months of her
battle with cancer. Her dream is to have one final family trip with her
husband and two young children, as well as her best friend and future
guardian of her children.

You can also donate your miles so that in reunion dreams the dream foundation can easily send family members to see their ill loved one. GO HERE to donate your miles!

Jenni makes MY dreams come true

I had a very magical day! I spent it with an amazing, strong girl named Jenni.

Jenni is battling her third diagnosis with cancer. She was first diagnosed when she was nine weeks old, then again in her senior year of high school and now again at 21 years old.

Her lifelong wish has been to meet Tom Hanks! The Dream Foundation granted her wish! During her stay in Los Angeles, I spent the day with her and we got our hair and make up done, which was another one of her wishes!

She is so strong and has such a positive attitude, which I think is so important when your life is being challenged. She shared her story with me and I can relate due to my dad passing of cancer. 

After we spent the day together, we went to a charity event where we auctioned off items to help raise money for The Dream Foundation. My step brother Brandon and his fiance Leah performed there! They are in a band together and signed by Warner Brothers Records.

I feel so lucky to have been touched by Jenni’s spirit. I have learned from her.
