Kim Kardashian To Donate Value Of Wedding Gifts To Dream Foundation

Kim Kardashian is re-gifting her wedding presents, so to speak.

The Huffington Post confirmed with the Dream Foundation, which grants wishes to adults facing life-threatening illnesses, that the former Mrs. Humphries will make a donation to the organization. Her gift will be representative of the presents she received from her marriage, which lasted 72 days.

The funds are being wired today, Erinn Lynch, a spokesperson for the Dream Foundation, told the Huffington Post in an email.

TMZ reports exclusively that sources close to Kardashian say she'll give $200,000 to the Dream Foundation.

From the moment the reality-show star started planning her estimated $10-million wedding, news sources speculated whether she would give over some of the presents and money she made to charity.

Lynch said that the organization is "grateful" Kardashian is using the situation to help others. She says it's not the first time Kim has given to the organization:

"Kim has a long history of giving to Dream Foundation with her time, financial contributions and simply holding the hands of dreamers facing a terminal illness. We are thankful to have Kim as a part of our service."

Kardashian blogged about the split and the big donation Tuesday night, emphasizing that her intentions in marrying Kris Humphries were pure.

"I believed in love and the dream of what I wanted so badly. I felt like I was on a fast roller coaster and couldn’t get off when now I know I probably should have. I got caught up with the hoopla and the filming of the TV show that when I probably should have ended my relationship, I didn’t know how to and didn’t want to disappoint a lot of people...I’m so grateful to everyone who took the time to come to my wedding and I’ll be donating the money for all the gifts to the Dream Foundation."

Now if HP and the rest of the media world would find something else to occupy their time and web pages we'd be making some headway!

That avaricious ho has no business donating gifts from her wedding to any charitable organization, no matter how worthy! That sham of a marriage didnt even last three months. The gifts, monetary or otherwise, should be returned to the givers, PERIOD! She is making money from those gifts somehow, perhaps by a tax writeoff. And I'll bet she's keeping some of the most expensive ones, too. So she and her greedy klan still make out like bandits! Her mother taught her daughters well.

Poor Kris Humphries' butt must be sore from the royal screwing he got from the whole kardashian klan!

Umm..Am I suppose to be like, oh what a good person. For how much money she has she should have never asked for wedding gifts...she should have asked for donations to a charity. However, maybe she knew all along that she was getting divorced in 72 days, right before a new season of her show and her mom's book released.

She can certainly afford to do this after being paid $17 million for the production of the wedding.

Half the gifts came from Kris Humphries' family, friends, and acquaintances, and most certainly belong to him. Kim & Kris need to return the shower, engagement and wedding gifts, most especially Kim wasn't committed to this marriage, abandoned him and alienation of affections, she needs to return the engagement and wedding bands if he purchased them, they're not hers as she failed to commit to the marriage and had no intention to work on it or stay in it! She didn't want to marry to begin with! This most certainly was a publicity stun, to get attention and for a larger viewing audience!

Not even using his last name, Humphries, says alot about her! Spoiled, greed and caught up in the glitz and glamour of the partying wedding, no regard for the family or her husband's feelings, just what is in her best interest. No, I believe she abandoned him, alienation of affections, never committed to their marriage. Gifts go back to the guests on both sides, this wasn't long enough to say the marriage failed within the year, she didn't give this a chance, and knew she shouldn't have married Kris Humphries in the first place! In my opinion, glamour, media attention and granduer of that day was her thought, not reality of hurting another's feelings, only what was in her best interest! Engagement and Wedding Bands, since she said from day one, that she didn't want to marry him, are his possessions, not hers!

According to Kim Kardashian's own words, she didn't want to disappoint and went through this wedding knowing she didn't want to marry Kris. In the even a marriage falls apart within the first year, then both the bride and groom split their gifts and go on their merry way, however, knowing she wasn't committed to the marriage, not getting counseling, and ending before it even started, the shower and wedding gifts need to be returned to both sides,family, friends and acquaintances. The engagement and wedding bands need to go back to the groom if he paid for them, as he was committed to this marriage and still seems to want to work on it, she doesn't.
Yes, it's best to get out of a marriage that shouldn't have taken place to begin with if there was no committment or love, otherwise, it will turn bitter and worst in breaking up! She most certainly doesn't have the right, without the permission of those that gave the gifts to this couple to sell them. Did she marry to get the money and gifts and use this as a publicity stunt, with no regard for the man that married and seeming still wants the marriage to work? In my opinion, she knew what she wanted and did what is in HER best interest, with no regard for the love her husband has for her! Did they even try marriaage counseling?

Umm..if she does not want to work on the marriage she does not have to. They had different wants. Obviously, going by your comment, she was shaky going into the marriage...somethings are not meant to be.

I think the more appropriate thing to do would be to donate the money AND return the gifts. But, alas, look who your dealing with. A classless group of K's.

The proper thing to do is return the gifts not donate them to charity. If she received money from the wedding that should be donated to charity, Not GIFTS!!!

Umm...everyone that was at that wedding is not hurting for the money they spent on the gifts.

That is a good gesture,however it's just all icing on the cake where making things right is concerned.

This my last post ever in regard to Kim articles,she is just vain and ridiculous.One can't count on reading anything positive about her.So why bother, let her take her rightful position as Hollywood so call stars ..............last.

Give the girl a medal (rolls eyes), will you? How is she going to compensate for Vera Wang's embarrassment?

All those multimillionaires at her wedding and she only got $200k in gifts? They're some cheap mother..suckers.

Well Humphries probably kept half of them...he needs the money.

Lesser expensive wedding gifts were probably given because most guests saw the writing on the wall.
