Khloé Kardashian on giving back
Khloé Kardashian feels it is important to give back.
The ‘Keeping Up With The Kardashians’ star says her parents – Kris Jenner and the late Robert Kardashian – were "very compassionate and giving" but also taught her and her siblings about the "realities of life" despite their great upbringing.
She shared: "My parents have always been very compassionate and giving. We were raised in a very blessed environment but since my dad grew up a lot less fortunate, it was really important to him to show us all realities of life and not let us be jaded by the life that he was so lucky to provide us.
"At the same time, my dad always said to not be boastful about the charity work you do. Ask yourself if you are helping to benefit others or for a self-serving purpose. I hate when people throw their charity work in everyone’s faces because they are doing it for publicity or praise. I give to give. I don’t give to get."
And the 32-year-old television personality insists the amount someone gives isn’t important but more about the act of doing so.
Writing on her app, she added: "Big or small, it ALL counts! It bothers me when people say, ‘Oh, you have so much money that you can give back.’
"Offering a helping hand to someone in need – or offering emotional support to someone who needs it – is doing something good. I’m so big on kindness. I seriously believe that being kind takes absolutely no effort but does so much for someone else …
"I’m not concerned with whether someone donates $10 or $10 million. The point is that we were bringing awareness to a cause that we genuinely care about."
