Heroes of the Crisis: A Nine-Year-Old Who’s Helping Veterans.

Tyler Stallings is inspired by three generations of family members who've served in the armed forces.

He makes “hero bags” and “hero boxes” for homeless veterans, featuring toiletries and clothing along with pandemic-related supplies such as hand sanitizer and masks. Tyler, who lives in Halethorpe, Maryland, launched the initiative after watching a video about veterans living on the street. “It all started when I said I wanted to build them houses. Mom said, ‘Well, we can’t do that.’ ”

Tyler’s mom, Andrea Blackstone, often drives him to multiple stores, sometimes traveling an hour from home.

At the start of summer, he donated two new AC units to Patriot House, a home for veterans getting back on their feet. “I knew the veterans would have a good air conditioner and they wouldn’t have to suffer with the heat.”
