A boy from Massachusetts raised more than $ 100,000 US dollars selling clay koalas, and says he will donate that money to Australia to help animals affected by the wildfires that are destroying Australia and have killed millions of animals.

He is only 6 years old, is the founder of "Owen’s Australian Creature Rescue," he told Sunday's "America's News HQ" the reason he started raising money to donate to Australia is simply because he likes animals.

His name is Owen, he said that of all the animals, he likes Koalas the most because they can climb trees, that explains why he decided to sell clay koalas.

Owen's parents said he wanted to find a way to help Australia's animals. "When Owen knew about the fires, like all of us, he was very upset," said his mother. "We wanted to give him a chance to do something to help."
