    away following a “cosmetic procedure”, Kanye
    West
    ’s family issues a statement:

    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. Those
    donations can be made by visiting the Foundation’s Web site, KanyeWestFoundation.org
    or by mail at:

    Kanye West Foundation

    8560 W. Sunset Blvd.

    West Hollywood, CA 90069
