Kim Kardashian West Is On Variety Magazine's 2015 Power of Women Issue Alongside Whoopi Goldberg And Lena Dunham

It's raining titles for Kim Kardashian West. Not only has she made it to the Time magazine's 100 most influential people's list but the reality star has also been featured in Variety magazine’s 2015 Power of Women Issue. Kim joins celebrities like Whoopi Goldberg, Rachel Weisz, Glenn Close and Lena Dunham to be on the list of the magazine.

Variety magazine chose Kim to be featured as one of the “Women of Power” because of her contribution to sick children at Los Angeles' Children's hospital. The 34-year-old “Keeping Up With The Kardashians” star started working with the hospital seven years ago when one of her friend's child was admitted there, writes the magazine. Kim, whose father Robert Kardashian passed away because of cancer in 2003, donates proceeds from her eBay auction store to the hospital and also “regularly visit patients and their parents, especially during the holidays,” the magazine added.

“I remember what it was like when my dad was going through it. You see the kids that are so strong,” Kim is quoted as saying to the magazine. She also said that the kids feel “so helpless” that she wants to “do anything to help them.” Celebuzz has published several pictures of Kim interacting with various sick children in the hospital. She is seen distributing toys to them.

DeAnn Marshall, a senior vice president of Children’s Hospital Los Angeles, told the magazine that Kim's involvement in the hospital “has always been laser-focused” and the reality star's “positive spirit and genuine concern for their situations has lifted up many families during unimaginable times.” The magazine also adds that there are times when Kim “will sit at the patient’s bedside alone” but sometimes she is also accompanied by her rapper husband Kanye West; or her sisters.

Kim has donated all the gifts she received during the baby shower to a hospital in Chicago – her husband's home town. She told the magazine that ever since she became a mother to baby North West, her whole perspective to look at the kid's health underwent a change. Being a mother, she realised “how hard it must be to be a parent to a child with an illness.”
