Kim Kardashian and rapper Kanye West are expecting their first child together this summer. The reality starlet is taking the opportunity to use her pregnancy to help sick infants by asking that fans make donations to the hospital rather than purchasing gifts for their unborn child.
According to TMZ, Kim and Kanye have not set up a baby registry and have no intentions to, instead they are asking that any family, friends or fans wishing to buy a gift instead make a donation to Lurie Children’s Hospital in Chicago.
A rep for the hospital has since released a statement on behalf of the couple which reads, “Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children’s Hospital of Chicago would like to extend its sincerest gratitude to Kim Kardashian and Kanye West for their thoughtfulness and support of the hospital."
"Funds donated on behalf of Kardashian and West will be directed to the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit Fund which will help care for the most critically ill babies and their families,” the statement informs."We wish them all the best in the upcoming arrival of their baby."
Kim has not discussed the donation news on Twitter as of yet.
As we previously reported, Kim and Kanye are expecting their bundle of joy in early July.
