Who is Isabelle Redford?
Isabelle Redford is an artist, entrepreneur, and philanthropist who lives in Parsons, Kansas. She drew the artwork for a line of greeting cards which she sells, and used the proceeds to fund construction of an orphanage in Haiti. She is also planning to fund an orphanage in Malawi. This is especially notable because by the time the first orphanage was completed and the plans for the second one were announced, Redford was only seven years old.
She first had an interest in funding the orphanages when, at the age of five, her mother told her a story about twin girls in Haiti whose mother had died during childbirth. Her cards are sold through a project called the Global Orphan Project.
Within hours after ABC News reported that Redford was ABC's Person of the Week, the amount of money that she had raised increased from $10,000 to more than $265,000.
