“She was concerned, informed & compassionate. Many ppl donate their money and time quietly.”
Magda’s response follows a Twitter user posting, “Nothing gets me more heated than to see the Kardashians/Jenners talk about climate change/wildfires & not donate even a penny,” and tagging not only Kim but her sisters Kourtney Kardashian, Khloe Kardashian, Kendall Jenner and Kylie Jenner.
Kim swiftly replied on social media with, “nothing gets me more heated than to see people think they know what we donated to and to think we have to publicize everything.”

“Good deeds should be done with intention and not for attention,” she wrote.
“We are all blessed to be able to bless others even if it is in the slightest way. But we do not need to be boastful about that. Be boastful in regards to teaching others how they may be able to help as well.”

Magda has teamed up with Will Connolly, more commonly known as ‘Egg Boy’ and set up a GoFundMe page to assist with the mental health impacts from the bushfires.
Their original goal of $30,000 has been beaten and in three days it has more than doubled to reach over $73,000 and are in awe at people’s generosity.
Magda also highlighted what they plan to do with the funds raised explaining, “I’ve spoken to philanthropist friends of mine who knows this stuff. We’ll put it in a trust, we’ll keep it there and then we’ll see what needs a rise so that we make sure that it goes to the right place.”
