<p>In this deeply personal episode, Pops shares how tragedy transformed into purpose. After losing his youngest son, Zach, he launched <strong>Zach’s Rays of Hope</strong> to honor his memory by bringing light and support to those who feel unseen. What started with handing out backpacks to people experiencing homelessness has grown into a mission of dignity, compassion, and community.</p><p>Pops opens up about his grief, the vision behind the nonprofit, and what each backpack truly represents—more than supplies, they’re a message: <em>you matter</em>. We also dig into the realities of homelessness, how society can do better, and actionable ways each of us can help restore hope, one person at a time.</p><p><br></p><p>Important Links:</p><p><a href="https://www.zachsraysofhopefoundation.com" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">Website</a></p><p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/@Zachsraysofhopefoundatio-o9o3j" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">YouTube</a></p><p><a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@zachsraysofhope121621?_t=ZP-90Qz8WmzvAt&_r=1" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">TikTok</a></p><p><br></p>
