At just 12 years of age, Zach McGuire has mastered lessons in life that some people may strive their whole lives to learn. These are the important lessons of love, sharing and humility. Residing in Toledo, Ohio, young Zach is a picture of the ordinary All-American boy, but he possesses an extraordinary heart of generosity and kindness.

In 2005, following the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina which ravaged New Orleans, Louisiana, the principal at Zach’s elementary school encouraged each student to do something to earn money to contribute to the disaster relief work. Zach, who was only 6 years old at the time, decided to set up a Kool-Aid drink stand where people could make contributions from their hearts.
