No, there is no way. They have flagged the Kindle serial as lost or stolen.
There were some folks who inadvertently "purchased" stolen Kindles on eBay. It took some time but Amazon eventually activated their Kindles because they were "purchased" in good faith (and they helped Amazon track down the seller of the stolen Kindles). Since the Kindle was "given" to you and not "purchased in good faith", you are not out any money so Amazon does not need to accommodate you.
You have a couple of choices that I can think of:
1) Keep the stolen/lost Kindle and use it as a stand alone non-DRM mobi and PDF ebook reader without access to any wireless features including the Amazon Kindle store or
2) Buy a new or refurbished Kindle and return the one you were given to the person who gave it to you.
In this case there really is no "free lunch" (or nothing beyond a free salad).
