So I'm confused as to something: Amber said she was going to donate $7 to two charities as it relates to what she received in the divorce, and the argument I've heard is that she hasn't donated a dime.

But now I've read this:

After assault incident #14 (the iPhone incident) in May 2016, Amber filed for divorce and applied for a restraining order against Johnny. He then accused her of claiming abuse for financial gain. She disputed this claim by vowing to donate all the money she received from the divorce: As described in the restraining order and divorce settlement, money played no role for me personally and never has, except to the extent that I could donate it to charity and, in doing so, hopefully help those less able to defend themselves. As reported in the media, the amount received in the divorce was $7 million and $7 million is being donated. This is over and above any funds that I have given away in the past and will continue to give away in the future.

She decided to donate to 2 organizations, with $3.5 million for each: The donation will be divided equally between the ACLU, with a particular focus to stop violence against women, and the Children's Hospital of Los Angeles, where I have worked as a volunteer for the past 10 years alongside organizations like the Art of Elysium. Over the years, I have seen firsthand how more funding for staffing, better equipment and better medication can make the difference between life or death for a child."

During the current trial, Terence Dougherty, the ACLUs general counsel and chief operating officer, testified in his deposition that the pledge agreement calls for Amber to donate the $3.5 million to his organization through instalments over a period of ten years, not in one lump sum. In her testimony, Amber said that she was receiving her divorce settlement in installments and that's why she paid the donation in installments as well. In the pledge, the ten year period would start in August 2016, meaning she still has the time till 2026 to complete her donation. To date, Dougherty testified they have already received $1.3 million from Amber or on her behalf. Dougherty said he has no indication that Amber does not intend to pay the rest of her pledged donation: Im not aware of any indication that Ms. Heard has decided to no longer pay additional amounts. She also donated somewhere between $1million to 4.9million to the other organization, CHLA, and was listed in their Honor Roll of Donors for the hospital.

So has she actually donated to these two charities?
