Kim Kardashian is feeling very #blessed these days, and the mother of two is paying it forward!

The 34-year-old Keeping Up With the Kardashians star was awake and breastfeeding 5-day-old son Saint West when a young do-gooder's story on TV got her attention.

"I'm up breastfeeding & watching this show Dish Nation," she tweeted. "I heard the cutest story of a girl who is trying to find 1000 pairs of shoes to donate to this charity [Soles 4 Souls]! They helped her during Hurricane Katrina. I think I know the designer of Shoe of the Year Award!"

Indeed, Kim knows Kanye West, the creator of the Adidas Yeezy Boost 350, and he was on board with sharing shoes, too. "Kanye and I would love to donate those 1000 shoes to Soles for Souls," Kim tweeted.

There was one problem, though: Kim needed to track down the young woman whose story she saw on Dish Nation! "I've been looking online to find this little girl so we can let her know the shoes are on their way....but can't seem to find her," she wrote. "So whoever you are ....these shoes are for you! We will contact [Soles 4 Souls]! You reached your goal, so proud of you!!! xoxox"

Kim tweeted @DishNation and @Soles4Souls, who quickly tracked down Amelia Flores. Thanks to Kimye's donation, Amelia has reached her goal of donating 1,000 pairs of shoes by Christmastime! You can help her exceed her goal, though, by donating shoes to  Soles 4 Souls in the name of Amelia Flores.
