We're so used to Kim Kardashian taking naked selfies or talking about her weight-loss, that when she actually mentions something serious, it catches us off guard–this time in a good way. The reality star recently dedicated a post on her website and app to a 9-year-old girl who supported a friend battling cancer. See why Kim's inspired!

"One of Kanye's best friends–88-keys–has a daughter named Chloë who decided she would #standup2cancer … her kindness and generosity is so inspiring and I wanted to share it with you," Kim wrote.
The 9-year-old has a close friend named Erica, a 33-year-old woman who is currently battling cancer and had to cut off all her hair due to chemotherapy treatments. In order to help support her friend during this difficult time, Chloë decided to cut off her own hair. Seriously, how amazing is that?
"Watching her battle cancer and go through chemotherapy made me sad and mad, because she shouldn't have to go through this. But it also inspired me to want to do something to help. So, today I cut off all my hair to show my friend how much I love her and that I will be here to support her–no matter what," Chloë wrote on her GoFundMe page. The page was created to help raise money towards cancer research or treatment organizations of Erica's choice. Chloë is also donating her own hair to an organization called Children With Hair Loss that makes wigs for children who have lost their hair due to cancer. No wonder Kim considers this kid her hero–she's incredible!
It takes a lot of empathy, courage, and strength to support a friend with cancer in the way that Chloë is. And we're not just talking for a 9-year-old. Not only did she start her own GoFundMe page to help raise money towards cancer research but she actually cut off all her hair. Just imagine how hard that is to do at an age when kids are still only starting to become comfortable with themselves. Chloë was brave enough to put her friend's needs before her own and that is definitely something to appreciate. Kudos for Kim for taking the time to honor such an awesome little girl.
