Zachary Bonner is an inspiring role model for the young and old. He was born in Arkansas on November 17, 1997. Zach goes to Florida Virtual Academy and is in 7th grade. He now lives with his mom, sister and brother in Tampa, Florida. Zach has accomplished many great things to help others at a very young age.

Zach created a charity organization called the Little Red Wagon Foundation when he was seven years old. Through his foundation, he made backpacks full of supplies for the homeless. Zach distributed over 3000 backpacks across the country! In addition, he walked from Tampa to L.A. in 2009 and covered 2,478 miles. He did this to raise money and awareness for homeless children. Zach’s plan is to continue to help as many kids as he can.

I think that Zach is an amazing role model. He has helped so many homeless children in America. Even though he is a kid himself, Zach helps other kids. I think that Zach is the most helpful person I’ve ever heard of. I wish I was like him and help other people.
