While some celebrities have taken to social media to tweet their thoughts on the Mike Brown story, more and more stars are coming forward and actually doing something to help the cause.
Kimora Lee Simmons is a St. Louis native, and the fashion mogul feels it would only be right to pay for Mike Brown’s funeral.
She tweeted the following recently (read tweets from top to bottom):
Black fraternity Alpha Phi Alpha has also offered to pay for the slain teen’s funeral and you can contribute to Kimora’s Go Fund Me campaign here.

Good look. Don’t talk about it, be about it.
Awesome.
Nice.
Good! Now if only more celebs shut the hell up and actually do something for once!
This is very nice of Kimora. God help us we are truly living in the last days.
Like I said, times like these you get to see who is down for the race and who is a sellout.
Someone whose truly humble doesn’t forget where they came from. Go Kimora.
*standing ovation*
So instead of telling black people to shut up about Mike Brown because of black on black crime, she’s actually doing something to help his family. God bless her.
Somethings doesn’t need to be announced, if it’s genuine why tell the world? I think that should have stayed between her & the family.
Sigh…let’s not criticize this woman for opening up her wallet and starting a Go Fund Me account to help Mike’s family. I’m sure this has really lifted their spirits some and that is worth it to me.
I love it.
Kudos to Kimora.
She’s doing a great thing so I don’t know how anyone can be negative about it. #shrugs
I love this.
You have shown mercy to this family. Thank you Kimora.
