Whiz Kids: The Fairchild Family

A family of generous kids who give their love, talent and time to help animals. They are the founders of Heartfull Art.

Names and Ages: Ashlyn, 11, Sydney, 9, and Scott, 4, Fairchild

School: Home-school students in Oconee County

Accomplishments: The children love animals and art. In 2007, the girls made Christmas ornaments, donated all of the proceeds from the sale to the local animal shelter and Heartfull Art was born.

The kids have donated art for silent auctions benefiting local animal causes. They have also been commissioned to create pet portraits and have donated those funds, too.

Key To Awesomeness: Parents Rachael and John say, "We
are proud that our kids care about animals so much. Our own pets are rescues. We adopted one dog from the local animal shelter and our other dog was a
stray."
