lamar his mother passed away from stomach cancer when he was younger and
dot inspired him to start a charity known as kathy's kid
me out was meant to help underprivileged kids and also raise money for akira for
cancer care
is now being a investigated by is p_m_ they're doing investigative report on
his charity because they're finding that the charity hasn't given udya into
cancer research on that but the charity has given some money to underprivileged
kids so to give you some specifics acb eight years worth of tax filings
indicated that the charity raised about two point two million dollars yes a lot
of mine at is a lot of money one point six million which is of course a sizable
chunk uh... went toward uh... that to uh... elite basketball teams for for
kids are so so that's good you wanted to help for what purpose so random
no it's probably not
probably somebody got some talk about money running those leaks wearing avenue
of kids it doesn't add anything to do is cancer which is that you know why this
isp investigations taking place in the first place
uh... but another thing that seems a little questionable is another huge
chunk of of the funds went toward one of his friends collapse is basically uh...
managing that the charity and uh... he was receiving about seventy two thousand
dollars between two thousand four and twenty eleven
so now look at seventy two thousand over seven years tried right
so uh... it's the sound reasons first seller whatever it is
but all this the prom because none of the money went to cancer and there is
two point two million dollars
any edits it didn't go to that cause right in twenty eleven and a show the
debt two hundred fifty six thousand dollars
uh... you have that much like that's a problem with whom they don't know how to
spend money
lady just added a note of it
and they like it and would you get pat would you do for cancer alright ever got
a lot of cancer annemarie too and for two thousand and
yap so and then there are
a number of other issues that i want to get into very quickly on so apparently
they have continue doing fundraising four then sherri even though other
reports indicating that the charity has been dormant for years they have really
done much in the years uh... one way that they're raising funds for the
charity is they're having alkaloid card ashton salsa lover used clothes so she
has a uses ie closer she saw a nightly basis as a hundred percent the proceeds
will go toward the charity wealth that's the case why has the chair tv doormat
for years
now if there's a lot of questions raised about this and
ami i'd know
is cells like is a general thing if she's selling some of our closing
unitary
sells their hearts to the right place definitely something useful is this kind
of weird as t_v_ but
late not
it's kind of weird thing to buy but anyway who cares is always going to
replace but again
none of the hind to cancer and it's already dorman so why you raise the
money for it now
lake there so intermediate involvements and it's probably mystery if they're not
doing it for the money and now right now so my guess is somebody is misleading
them within their circles right
and being overly fair to them i think in saying that
but they got a it's up to them the manager you can't just take people's
millions of dollars to rate
though most people probably worked really hard
and gave it to a charity
you got at least spend big good percentage
you know doing work i can certainly you can deal with the cerebellum
by richie
takes ninety four sum of money and doesn't give it to the state of purpose
is that all over consultant friends et cetera biggest originate by her own
books alert russia's against consultants that have already has a we're
interesting
so this is very questionable definitely questionable now yes can i try to
contact at a spokesperson from kathy's kids
uh... but nobody whatever sponsor class
so uh... and he has been reporter was doing a walk-through interview with
lamar odom and and kind of question about it and lamar odom got very
defensive and shut down the interview he later called the s_p_ espy in reporter
and scheduled an ad follow-up interview to apologize for the way he reacted in
the locker room however he refused to answer any questions regarding the
charity andy said quote it's my money and he refused to dot explaining further
but my understanding is that the
some of it is not his exactly
that's bad news
it's just not the right way to handle it and like i said if you are public figure
in your putting your name on a charity
it is your responsibility to make sure that that charity is operating as an
tically as possible
