8-Year-Old Kid helps Homeless Veterans – Tyler Stallings

“The happiest people are those who lose themselves in the service of others.” – Gordon B. Hinckley.

Tyler Stallings is an 8-year-old kidpreneur and philanthropist who resides in Maryland. He is the author of the book “Tyler Goes Around the World.” The book is about a superhero who flies around the world each night. At a very young age of 4 years, the kid became the CEO of Kid Time Enterprises. He raises funds to help the veterans. Tyler has caught the attention of people from all over the world for his outstanding social works. 

How Tyler Stallings Journey Started?

The child prodigy Tyler is the son, grandson, and nephew of veterans. When Tyler was just four years old, he informed his mother that he wanted to start his own business. Tyler’s journey to co-write a children’s book with guidance from his mother – Andrea Blackstone – evolved into an early lesson in entrepreneurship and a vehicle to create community projects.

After his mother showed a YouTube video to Tyler about homeless veterans’ plight, he wanted to take immediate action and build homes for them. Blackstone explained that they could not finance construction projects, but Tyler wanted to explore other avenues that would allow him to support veterans in need.

The Taste Of Success

The motive of ‘Give Back to Veterans Day’ is to thank and uplift heroes who serve our country. Start A Snowball provided $100 through a grant to support Tyler’s idea to make hygiene kits to distribute them to elderly and homeless veterans.

At the age of four, he raised additional money to make gift baskets as Easter gifts. Hundreds of hygiene and grooming products were donated to the Armed Forces Retirement Home, located in the District of Columbia, and to a transitional home for homeless male veterans in Anne Arundel County called Patriot House. He has held several other campaigns as well.
