Skylar Dalusio, 11, started her journey into the world of entrepreneurship and philanthropy when she was just five years old.

While living in Oregon, she and her mother, Swaran, would hand-pick wild blueberries and bake pies and scones and make lemonade. Swaran is also known as Dr. D at Orcas Veterinary Service.

Kylar had a small booth and would donate some of her proceeds to the Ronald McDonald Foundation and United Paws.

“She has done some form of fundraising every year since she was six and picks a charity and donates some money to them,” said Swaran.

Kylar said she wanted to donate the funds because, “people and animals needed help.”

After years of baking she decided to learn how to sew. She started sewing pillowcases when she was six and has perfected the art over the years.

Now she is selling holiday-themed pillowcases on Orcas and donating 20 percent of the proceeds to the Orcas Animal Protection Society.

After her family adopted two kittens this year she decided it was the best organization to receive her donations. Pillowcases are $25 for a pair and $15 for a single. Orders can be made via email to kreativesky@gmail.com. You can also request custom-made pillowcases.
