While the TV personality has yet to locate the little girl, she tweeted, "Whoever you are ....these shoes are for you! We will contact Soles For Souls! You reached your goal, so proud of you!!! xoxox."

The Keeping Up with the Kardashians  star and Kanye’s donation comes less than a week afterwelcoming their second child on December 5. The TV starsuffered a rough second pregnancy. Kim successfully avoided a c-section byundergoing a “painful”procedure to turn son Saint, who was breech at the time, into theproper position. The reality star ended up giving birth two and a half weeksbefore Christmas, which was her believed due date.
