Olivia Bouler, who turns 11 on Friday, has raised thousands of dollars to help the birds affected by the oil spill. She does what a fifth grade girl is supposed to do in her spare time: draw and paint. Raising an estimated $80,000 to date, Olivia sends her sketches and paintings of birds to hundreds of people who then donate money to any of several organizations helping wildlife in the Gulf.
"It’s really crazy how many people want my drawings," Olivia says.
It takes her about 15-30 minutes per drawing/painting, and she's more than happy to do it in order to help save the birds. The Audubon Society is overseeing the donation process.
AOL donated $25,000 to Audubon in her name and also gave Olivia her own artist's gallery on its site. She has a Facebook page with more than 10,000 fans.
