A 6-year-old is making clay koalas to raise money for the Australian fires. He's raised over $100,000

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.

"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. His mom made a sketch of the koala, an iconic Australian animal, and together they created the design for the clay creatures.It takes 3 or 4 minutes to make each koala.
