She's becoming the Mother Theresa of people behind bars!
Kim Kardashian caught word that recently released prisoner William Charles was having trouble finding housing due to his criminal record, so she reached out directly and offered to pay his rent for 5 years!
Charles was the first person to be released under the First Step Act, which Kimmy K worked alongside Donald Trump and Jared Kushner to get off the ground. The man was convicted on drug and weapons charges and served 20 of his 35 year sentence. He got an early release in May 2016, but was then ordered back to jail to serve out the remainder of his time.
"Kim reached out privately to Matthew yesterday after hearing he was having a hard time getting approved for an apartment and has generously offered to pay five years of his rent. He was overwhelmed by Kim’s offer and graciously accepted. Her generosity will allow him to save enough money to eventually put a down payment on a house. It’s truly changed his life," CMT producer Tim Hardiman told Us Weekly.
"Kim then met with President Trump in May of last year to speak to him about pardoning Alice Johnson, and also mentioned Matthew Charles in that conversation. She later discussed Matthew’s situation when she met with the president in September," he added.
This lucky man couldn't help but gush about the reality star on social media, either!
"I just received the most wonderful news tonight that I just had to share with everyone. Kim Kardashian-West … heard about my situation. Was moved and has decided to help me. And to me in an unbelievable way. Kim did not do this for attention or publicity, but I had to share it, because it’s to good not to, and my heart is about to burst with happiness, that I wish you to rejoice in this news with me. And many of your responses about the outcome of my dilemma prophesied it. GOD IS GOOD!!!. WHAT THE DEVIL MEANT FOR BAD, GOD REVERSED AGAIN, FOR MY GOOD," he wrote on Facebook.
We have a feeling she will get a few more pen pals after this!
