This 6-year-old boy wanted to help animals affected by the Australian bushfires, so he started making clay koalas to encourage donations. He's now raised more than $20,000 for a rescue group.
Owen Colley, a 6-year-old from Hingham, Massachusetts, was upset to learn about the Australian bushfires two weeks ago, his mom Caitlin Colley said. He asked if any animals had been hurt in the fire and his mom said yes.Quiet, he left the room and drew a picture of a kangaroo, a koala and a dingo in the rain. The picture represented his wish for Australia, a wish for rain and wildfire relief, his mom said.
I don't think he remembers any of it but he's proud of it."Owen talked about missing Australia and wanting to go back. His mom said he was sad when she told him it wasn't a good time to go because of the fires.Making each koala with 6-year-old handsOwen already enjoys making clay creations, so making these special koalas for a good cause made sense, Colley said.
