Not all heroes wear capes. We don’t know if six-year-old Owen Colley from Hingham, Massachusetts (USA) is wearing the cape, but we can say with certainty that he is a real hero. Having learned about the existence of the fires, the boy was very upset and asked if any animals had been injured there. When his mother replied that they were injured, he left the room in silence, then drew a kangaroo, a koala and a goofy dog in the rain.

Saving them was his little dream. Mom notes that it was the first time that her little one wanted to realize not his own, but someone else’s desire.And then they figured out how they could help. Caitlin came up with a sketch of a koala, and Owen took up clay modeling. It takes 3-4 minutes to make a cute little animal and another 17 it is baked in the oven. They planned to give such souvenirs to those who would donate in the amount of 50 Australian dollars.

The funds raised through this action will go to Wildlife Rescue South Coast Incorporated, a volunteer organization that rescues, rehabilitates and releases injured, sick or orphaned local animals. All its employees are volunteers. The first goal was to raise 1,000 Australian dollars, then 5,000, but in the end, 257,431 Australian dollars have been collected for the moment.

There were so many people who wanted to take part in the action that the mother had to buy all the clay at a distance of 20 miles from where they lived. This is how a little boy did a great job!
