In a poster shared alongside the message, the KKW Beauty founder expressed her concern about how 2020 has been challenging for many. Kardashian-West revealed she was aware that people were struggling with sorting their needs.

In October, she donated $1 million to the Armenia fund amid the nation’s conflict with Azerbaijan.

The “Keeping Up with the Kardashians” star is no stranger to giving hefty donations to help causes dear to her. In March, the mother-of-four joined the host of celebrities to provide resources to fight the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.

The entrepreneur pledged a whopping $1 million via an Instagram post promoting her SKIMS brand wear. In the upload, Kardashian-West noted that she would restock the collection and donate the pledged amount to mothers and children.

Her gesture was met with backlash from the internet, with many shaming her for pushing her brand and trying to profit under the guise of charity. Many fans attacked the reality star citing her impressive net worth estimated at $350 million.

However, it seems the criticism didn’t stop the 40-year-old from continuing in the spirit of charity. In October, she donated $1 million to the Armenia fund amid the nation’s conflict with Azerbaijan over the Nagorno-Karabakh region.
