The recent typhoon in The Philippines has claimed thousands of lives and left many struggling to access basic medical care. And now, Kim Kardashian is bringing attention to their plight by launching an eBay sale of her clothes and accessories. However, rather than donate the entire proceeds of the sale to non profit organisation International Medical Corps, the multi millionaire is only giving ten percent to the charity, according to the eBay posting. Just 10%???
Here is what Kim K wrote;
'Hi guys, this is a very special auction because a portion of the proceeds of my eBay auction are going to International Medical Corps, a nonprofit organisation that provides critical health services on remote islands where families are struggling to access medical care and basic resources like food, clean drinking water and vital medications,''The proceeds will go directly to the communities they’re serving in the Philippines and will help typhoon survivors get access to medical care and ultimately save lives.'My prayers and thoughts are with those affected by the typhoon. Check out my eBay auction here and support those who need our help in the Philippines. Xo'
Holding a 'special auction' for a cause and donating just 10% of the proceeds to the said cause doesn't sound right. It's noble to have them at heart, but 10%? I don't get it. Kim K is worth $40 million, she doesn't need the proceeds from this auction. Or is it just my thinking? What do you guys think?

What a vile creature. Just 10% to charity?
