KIM Kardashian is doing her bit for those feeling the squeeze from the coronavirus pandemic.
The 39-year-old announced a $1 million donation by her shapewear brand SKIMS, to families affected by COVID-19, on Friday.
She said that when the brand restocks on Monday, she will donate the generous sum to those affected by the global pandemic.
Kim said in the statement: “To support Mothers and Children in need during this time, SKIMS is committed to donating $1M to families affected by COVID-19.”
She continued: “On Monday, we’re restocking the collection we first launched with, and in doing so, are able to help bring relief to those affected by this pandemic.”
The mother of four continued: “I am so grateful to all of you who have supported SKIMS since we first started 6 months ago. It’s been a dream of mine for so long, and has only been possible because of your love for what we do.”
“Our six-month anniversary has fallen in the middle of a Global crisis so more than ever, it’s our responsibility to give back and do what we can to help others,’ Kim concluded.
Kim’s shapewear line – SKIMS – launched last September and reportedly made $2 million in just the first few minutes, according to TMZ.
In addition to Skims – which was renamed from KIMONO – Kim also has KKW Beauty and KKW Fragrance, as well as her hit reality show Keeping Up With The Kardashians.
Her SKIMS donation announcement comes two days after her sister Kylie Jenner, 22, donated $1 million to help doctors get face masks, face shields and protective gear.
Kylie has also been pivotal is spread the message to self-isolate to her 167million followers.
Kim has followed the advice and been self-isolating with her husband Kanye West and their four children amid the Coronavirus pandemic.
Fans saw her get in a vicious fight with eldest sibling Kourtney in the season premiere of Keeping Up With The Kardashians on Wednesday.
The pair got into a physical fight over Kim’s assessment of Kourtney’s work ethic.
