partnership where ex-prisoners are given gift cards so that they can travel to

Kim said: "Everyone wants the community to be safe, and the more
opportunity we have and that they have and the support that we help give them,
the safer everyone will be."

Kim Kardashian and Kanye
West meet recently freed North Carolina man and promise to help remove his face
tattoo (Photos)
Celebrity
couple, Kim Kardashian and Kanye West have promised to help a North Carolina
man recently freed from prison to pay to remove his face tattoo.
The couple met Paul Algarin and his family on Tuesday in Charlotte,
following his release from Central Prison in North Carolina after serving seven
years.
Algarin was charged in 2013 with bringing guns to a Fayetteville high
school, according to local reports.
Paul's twin sister, Azaria revealed on Instagram the family had lunch
with the stars before starting the procedure 'of removing [her] brother's face
tattoos'.
She said:
'Recently my twin was released from central prison where he served an
accumulation of seven years. He asked me for Kim’s address so he could send her
a letter and I rolled my eyes and never sent it. Eventually my mom sent it to
him so he would stop harassing us.
'Never in a million years did I think Kim would write him back (or even
read his letter), fly in right after the met gala (not to mention her 4th baby
is due at any minute), invest in our family & laugh / relate to us over the
smallest things.
'Kim flew in to CLT with her doctor to have lunch with us and start the
procedure of removing my brothers face tattoos.'
His mom Sonya added:
'Yesterday was a great day and also a long day coming. My children and
I had the awesome opportunity to meet @kimkardashian and her husband
@kanyedoingthings.
'Kim was there to grant a request that my son asked her assistance with
which was to remove a tattoo from his face. Thank God she received his letter
and was happy to grant his request.
'Her work and dedication to helping others restart their lives and move
forward with a more positive start is something that I am extremely grateful
for and most appreciative.
'Kim and Kanye taking time out of their busy schedules to come meet and
sit with us was amazing and an experience we will always remember.'
This comes after it was revealed Kim Kardashian has reportedly helped
free as many as 17 inmates by secretly funding a criminal justice campaign.
The mother of three first began her social justice bids by petitioning
President Donald Trump over the release of Tennessee grandmother Alice Marie
Johnson in June last year. The 63-year-old was pardoned by Trump after meeting
Kim at the White House.
