In Memoriam - Dr Donda C. West
“Kanye West, his family and friends would like to thank everyone for the outpouring of support and kind words that have come in from across the country since the death of his mother, Dr. Donda West.
After working in higher education for 31 years, Dr. Donda West and Kanye West co-founded the Kanye West Foundation with the mission of helping to combat the severe dropout problem in high schools across the country. The first and signature initiative of the Kanye West Foundation is Loop Dreams. Designed to capitalize on students existing interest in hip-hop, Loop Dreams challenges students to learn more about what’s behind hip-hop culture in order to help them develop skills, express themselves creatively and be empowered.
In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be made in Dr. West’s name to the Kanye West Foundation/Loop Dreams Teacher Training Institute.
Please mail your greatly appreciated tax-deductible donation to:
Kanye West Foundation,
8560 W. Sunset Blvd.,
West Hollywood,
CA 90069.
All major credit cards will be accepted on the Foundation’s site, www.KanyeWestFoundation.org within 2 days.”

I am deeply sorry for Kanye’s loss. I lost my father 9 years ago and it is still difficult for me.
In addition, I was considering having cosmetic surgery to cover the stretch marks on my breast and stomach, and to have a breast lift. Two reasons are keeping me from going through with the surgery and that is my spiritual beliefs that I have no right to tamper with the body God gave me, and the possibilty of an accidental death. I remember the Jenny Jones tragedy after her implants and didn’t want to endure something worse. After Donda West’s death, I am having a difficult time seeing the positive side of plastic surgery. However, I pray that Kanye heals from this and believe that one day he may see his mother in heaven.
