While most 8-year-old boys are busy playing video games and sports with their friends, Tyler Stallings, of Maryland, has different passions that drive him: raising money to house homeless veterans. Being the son, grandson, and nephew of veterans, Tyler made a decision to get involved in the cause of homeless veterans at the tender age of 4.

“After talking to my mom, I really wanted to help build homes for veterans but together we decided on a more realistic goal,” Tyler explained on his GoFundMe page. “We came up with an idea to make hygiene and grooming kits with thank you cards to give to veterans in need. I call them Hero Bags!”
