Giving back with Russell

March 16, 2009 / 92 Comments

Reggie and I went to Miami to attend the Rush Philanthropic charity event thrown by Russell Simmons.

I was hosting the event which was about helping to save the arts.

I truly am inspired by Russell and feel like he has taught me so much about giving back.

I was always raised to give back… I remember when I got my first job my dad had me donate 10% of all of my earnings to the church. I still donate to the church to this day!

My mom and Bruce would always have us attend Special Olympics events.

It’s never about the money, it’s about time dedication.

There’s always something you can do to give back and help out your community.

I’m teaming up with with Jamece Vincent’s Lia Sophia jewelry business to help out my favorite organization, the Dream Foundation!

All this month you can by one regular item and get two at 50% off, or buy 2 and get 4 for 50% off, etc.

75% of Jamece’s profits will go directly to the Dream Foundation!

Here’s how to get involved: Go to Jamece’s Lia Sophia page, click on “OUR JEWELRY,” then whichever catalog you want to choose — including the Red Carpet lines — then click “HOW TO PURCHASE,” and enter “KIM KARDASHIAN” as the hostess!

Enjoy!

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!
