7-year-old Tyler Stallings may not have superpowers, but in light of how many people he’s helped, he definitely deserves to wear a cape: the youngster has spent the last three years helping thousands of Maryland veterans.
He first became inspired to lend a helping hand when his mom Andrea taught him about about veteran homelessness in 2015.
“On a whim, I showed Tyler a video about the sacrifices that people make to serve our country,” says Andrea, who is from a family of veterans.
When she went on to say that their family was unable to build homes for the veterans who don’t have them, Tyler asked if he could simply give them everything else they might need.

He began filling “Hero Bags” with clothes, shoes, snacks, toiletries, soap, toothbrushes, toothpaste, lotion, shaving gel, and hand sanitizer—and with his mom’s help, he was able to start handing them out to local vets at the Maryland Center for Veteran Education and Training (MCVET). But it didn’t end there.
