Kid Holiday Hero Helps Homeless

After 2004 Hurricane Kid Asked How He Could Help, Hasn't Stopped Since

For 11-year-old Zachary Bonner, the rules of living and giving are simple: "If you have a good heart, you have to use it," he says.

One boy is determined to help those who are less fortunate than he is.

That stunningly straightforward idea, coupled with an extraordinary determination, has led Zachary to do more for the homeless in the last four years than most do in their whole lives. He especially looks out for kids, just like him, who he said might just be unlucky.

"They're not out there because they don't want to obey the rules at home or whatever," Zachary told "Good Morning America." "A lot of times it's because they are in situations out of their control and you know you can blame a lot of people and a lot of things for this, but you can't blame the kids."

His quest, which has raised thousands of dollars, hundreds of packages of supplies and covered hundreds of miles, started in 2004 when Hurricane Charlie rocked many neighborhoods surrounding his suburban Tampa, Fla., home. Zachary saw the destruction and turned to his mother and asked what he could do to help.
