High Schooler Binds Will To Aid Australia Fire Animals
An 18-year-old Riverside student Rachel Ratelle from Rancho Buena Vista High School learns of Australia wildfires and starts crafting animal pouches after funding. She seeks patterns from craft guild sites and joins others like Karen Newberry of Sew Berry Knit in San Diego to aid marsupials and birds affected by the fires. The World Wildlife Fund cites 1.2 billion animals impacted as fires burn 26 million acres. Newberry, with daughters Madison and Rochelle, joins the relief effort by producing Rosie the Riveter style headbands and aprons for fundraising and support.
