Phil Heckels, a man from England, is famous for his special art. Now the artist collects over $ 520,000 for charity(慈善) with his funny pet drawings.In 2020, Phil drew a picture of his dog and shared it online. He joked that he would draw people's pets for money. But to his surprise, many people asked for drawings. Instead of keeping the money, he gave the money to the charity, hoping to get around $ 400. Five years later, the charity gets over $ 520,000.Phil doesn't think his paintings are "good art"—he even calls them "rubbish(垃圾)". But that's what makes them special. His drawings are funny, and his followers love them.However, so many people want drawings, and Phil cannot finish them all. So he picks pets randomly(随机地). Followers can send him a photo of their pet. Phil posts each painting online with a short funny story he writes about the pet. And the followers don't need to spend money on it. They just need to give money to the charity.Today, Phil has more than 420,000 followers and over 80,000 pet photos waiting in his email box. He makes a decision to keep going. He's excited to help in this way, and wants to get $ 650,000 soon.
Phil's story shows how a small act of kindness can grow into something huge. A small joke at the start brings happiness to so many people and also helps people in need. As Phil says, "If a 'rubbish' artist like me can help others. What can YOU do?"
