Nashville-based charity receives donation from Kim Kardashian, Kanye West

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WKRN) – A local organization got a big donation Monday from Kim Kardashian and Kanye West.

Soles4Souls received over 1,000 pairs of shoes from the celebrity couple.

The teenager from Kansas was looking for 1,000 pairs of shoes so she could receive a scholarship through Soles4Souls.

The donation came two weeks after Kardashian happened to see an article about Amelia Flores.

“We were just stunned,” said Tiffany Johnson with the organization. “A lot of people say they want to help and they might give us a shout out. To see someone actually make good on a promise is an amazing thing.”

“It’s great. They are using their star power to help people around the world and also Amelia,” Johnson added.

Soles4Souls will donate the shoes from the Kardashian collection to places that are important to Amelia, Kim and Kanye, including New Orleans, Kansas and Los Angeles.
