Giving Back: The Brent Shapiro Foundation

Hey dolls! I love doing charity work! Really, I just love to help people and show that I care. When a charity is close to your heart you should do as much as you can for them. Speaking about causes and charities alone can be so helpful!

I wanted to share one of my favorite charities with you all. It's the Brent Shapiro Foundation For Alcohol and Drug Awareness. I love this charity for so many reasons, but my main reason is that the organization is so passionate about informing parents and children about these diseases. They have so many different techniques in teaching and they are in the process of creating a program for colleges and high schools too. The foundation wants to help you before there is a problem. This charity was founded by Robert Shapiro, who was a great friend of my father, after his 25-year-old son, Brent, tragically died after an alcohol and drug-induced coma. Here is his story.



Alcohol and drug dependence is an issue that is growing to epidemic proportions. Please check out The Brent Shapiro Foundation website. There is so much important information there. I encourage you to read it and reach out to those in your life who are suffering from the effects of substance abuse. Tragic stories like that of Brent can be prevented! Dont be afraid to save a life! Take care of the ones you love!!

EDIT: "I have my O W N"**

Melissa The Confused/Crazy - If Khloe said this, will you promise not to come onto this blog again? Please let us know what you're plans are.

Hi khloe!!

I love you so much!!!!

I have to say i really look up to you khloe. You have so much confidence and are comfortable your own skin. I Really hope to see some videos from you soon! Show us your daily life! Your apt, new clothes, the store whatever ! Love to see more of ya!
GOD BLESS

Hey khloe, i was searching ur blog at the
web because i really admire u, im from mexico, and i have seen ur program.. and u are mi favorite. i know that the episodes that i saw were old, but it doesnt matter.
And now i finally found ur blog. All this information about the Shapiro Foundation its really interesting, here in mexico we have some foundations like that, but people doesnt understand what does addicts suffer, and only criticize them.
keep on your charity labour i think that its fabulous.
it will be so great if u answer me ;)
take care.. and excuse me if my english is not ok =/

Heya Khloe- You are my favourite out of the Kardashian sisters because you always seem so real and down to earth and you are so funny and pretty! (you have incredible skin!) I love how you always say what you think and care so much about everyone too :) You are an inspiration. Keep up the charity work and keep being the amazing girl you are.

Much Love
x

You are my favorite Kardashian. You're just so sweet, caring, and funny!
Anyways, I am really passionate about Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric AIDS foundation, which you went to this year and I met you there :)
You were so sweet, it like made my year. I think you're amazing.

P.S. I hope the anniversary of your dad's death wasn't too rough on you this year :/


<3333

hey klohe, great job on the promotion of this foundation..positive messages should be relayed to the youth...i left this comment on your sis's page...hope it inspires you to further your generous actions...

"dont u know that there is more in this life than sex, fame, money... i mean honestly, people you know that have passed away, like your father, are in their graves by themselves, without money or fame or materialism...so why don't you try to use the money u were blessed with for something positive so that when God asks you what difference you made in this world..at least you can give Him a proper answer..b/c your simple reply will be "rayj, playboy,..."


ps. your life after this is not determined by what what you wear or what you have, but ur actions...so do something good so that you can make your father proud...


pps. please don't take these comments personally, its simply an opinion to a person who has the potential to change things and make a difference for the youth and destitute of this world..."

hi khloe
ur so adorable!
always helping =3

well as my fellow mexican said
we have foundations like that here
in méxico but a lot of people just
don't care, and that's really sad...
In my city every winter there's a recollection of blankets, sweaters, jackets
and stuff like that for the less fortunate, and i always try to help giving them clothes that my brothers and i don't wear anymore...

btw you rock! xD
luvya!

kisses from México!

take care

PS. sorry my lousy english xD

Robert Shapiro broke my heart when he was talking about his son. I can hear him breaking down all over again.

thanks for the website. I dont know anybody who is suffering from addiction but this awareness makes all the difference

hey khloe, "christine" replied on ur sis's page and i replied back, thought you might be interested...btw i totally felt like jahpson above as well...

Doing charity work is a great thing so i applaud you for that. On the other hand we as adults have to set examples for the younger generation. I notice on your reality show and on TMZ they show you and Kourtney drinking alcohol ALOT. Young minds are impressionable and maybe next time the producers should think about cutting that stuff out since your fan base is so young. I hope you learned from your DUI and don't ever make that same mistake again. I hope your reality show will show the consequences of such actions (other than just being yelled at by your mom), i'm talking about the legal ramifications and danger to innocent people driving on the road. Have fun on celebrity apprentice !

All seems to me really good, because are few the persons who have interest in this! ;)


i love you khloe!

i must share with you my two favorite episodes on KUWTK helping hand you and kourtney are amazing people and also a new perspective of new orleans kourtney kim u and rob you u are all heros to me you never see that now a days I hope that one day i can follow in you alls footsteps and lend a helping hand as far as a favorite charity i do not have one but if i was ever able to give i would support brest cancer and aids it is just so serious to me keep being yourself and i know that u will go far

You know Brent from what I know was an amazing guy. I actually met Brent through myspace, I had no idea who he was, and honestly didn't care. At the time we met he was in Virgina and we clicked because we liked the same music, and I wanted him to help me out with a project that I had been working on. He agreed to write for my online magazine and although he invited me out so many times but our schedules conflicted. However, we kept in touch by phone and email. Well I ended up getting locked up for from Aug. - Oct. and when I got out I was watching CNN when I saw Mr. Shapiro on TV talking about the death of his son. At the time I knew Brent's last name but never put 2 and 2 together. Well once they showed the photos and said the name my heart just dropped. With this said.. I too have fought off many addictions, and understand the importance of learning about these diseases. My mother is a Drug and Alcohol Counselor so this is something that I was brought up around but had to learn on my own. I think Khloe posting this was a great thing and it is important for people in general to seek the knowledge needed before you decide to go out and try things. I also think it is important to support people (charities) that are helping to support you and your peers with information and opportunities. So thumbs up on this on Khloe. Man I should be getting paid to add these comments, I am quite the contributor today.

Hey Khloe,

I love you. I think you are so fun and funny and I love watching Keeping up with the Kardashians. I am from Sydney, Australia but will be coming to LA and NY next year on a holiday with my husband. What are the chances of meeting you?? That would be like a total dream come true. I know that this is totally random but if you don't ask you don't get right??
Keep doing what you're doing. You're the bomb!

hi Khloe, i just wanted to tell ya that, i know exactlly what you have/are going through after losing your father. i lost my father also from cancer. (07/04/03) we just need to hang in there! anyways, i could write a book in here about what has happened since then. to make it short! i lost family,job,etc... take care! good luck in life!

Hey Khloe,

The charity that I absolutely love to donate time and money to is the Make a Wish Foundation. But I also give to St. Jude's Hospital, and to children's hospitals in Houston (my hometown).

YOU ARE SO FOND OF THIS CHARITY AND YET YOU WERE ARRESTED FOR A DUI! YOU ARE ONE NUTJOB LOSER! YOU SHOULD HAVE BEEN SENT TO JAIL FOR QUITE AWHILE KHLOEASSHOLE!

She can think she's cool all she wants. Her father defended murderers. She lives on BLOOD MONEY. DADDY DOESN'T CARE IF YOU PROSTITUE YOURSELVES BECAUSE HE TAUGHT YOU ALL WELL!

Robert Kardashian was an Armenian-American lawyer who was best known as a friend of O.J. Simpson. In the days following the murders, O.J. Simpson stayed in Kardashian's house. Kardashian was the man seen carrying Simpson's garment bag the day Simpson flew back from Chicago. Prosecutors speculated the bag may have contained Simpson's bloody clothes and/or the murder weapon.

Cocaine dealer William Wasz claimed that he sold cocaine to Kardashian, O.J. Simpson and Nicole Simpson, and that Kardashian gave the drugs to clients. Wasz also said that Kardashian and Simpson were involved in money laundering, prostitution, pornography, sports betting, and point shaving.

Umm, YEEESSSssss Franchine.

I think is very important to think in those who need a hand,I admire Angelina's cause, and her passion for defend what she believes in, and since my grandma dies becuase of cancer I'm very involve in those kind charities, even more when I knew that my dad has cancer. In this case is very important to know how to deal with someone of our family that is suffering becuase of acohol and drugs, in my own experience my mom was alcoholic and I blame her for too much thins and I couldn't forget her for others, but now I understand better and I leave all those feellings in the past. Is great that there are people that care about inform families how to deal with this deasease. Good one Khloe!!!

And for Franchine: is so easy to talk about someone that isn't here to defent himself, and blackmail someone who you didn't know. You should get a life!!!!!

I think what you do is wonderful, this really touched my heart, oosing a loved one especially your child is the worst nightmare for parents, I have a disability that there is no charity for because what I have is so very rare, I have tried and wrote to so many places, I put my life on so many sites, but I never get any response, if you do not have a sponsor with a big name to help start up a fund then forget it,my disability has been so difficult for me because there is no one in New England or anywhere else with bilateral nerve damage to my feet, therefore the only treatment my Doctor can come up with is to just keep me comfortable, I am on several eds and my pain med is 600mg morphine, yes 600mg most people who are ILL are on 40-60mg, but the pain I live with I just want to die it is unexplainable, I hope to be able to speak to Khloe to find out how I can get a charity sarted for this, we need more information in this world on how to treat patients with severe nerve damage, kindly, janice power
ps I am not diabetic this happened from the hands of a Dr. we found out I never needed the surgery to begin with, therefore my nerves got damaged thru the process.

Hi,

I just became a part of this forum here and I would love to be a part of it.

Kudos goes out to the mods and members! Seriously, I love the contribution of the community. I thought I'd do some contributing of my own.

Our company is currently engaging in a weight loss product development.

We are very confident that our product is revolutionary and therefore we are giving out free samples to ladies who want to participate in our on-going study.

Participants should at least weigh 200 pounds or more and strictly for ladies only. Kindly visit Our Website for more details.

Good work Khloe and as for the ignorant that think people choose to drink and do drugs it's a shame they cant take time to educate themselves on the fact it IS a disease. Someone I love dearly could benefit from rehab, but sadly it is for the rich.
