Your budget for cash is 300 dollars and people have 
donated.  And we’ve also taken extra money out.   
Right.   
So, let's just see how much more the items on the list will 
be.  I think you should get at least five more hero bags, 
socks.  Everything is set now and good to go.  We have our 
list.  We know exactly what the veterans need at 
MCVET.  Does that sound like a plan?  
Sure! 
Alright! 
((NATS)) 
((Tyler Stallings, CEO, Kid Time Enterprises))  
So, we are going to shop for the veterans and get some 
toiletries and some things that they would need to go to the 
homeless veterans’ shelter.  
((NATS:  Tyler Stallings & Andrea Blackstone))  
How about some men’s socks, ladies’ socks?  Do you want 
single socks or bag socks?  
Bag socks will probably be good.   
Okay.  So, you are ready?  
Yep!   
Alright, let’s grab us a cart and get moving.  How about that?  
Okay.

Tyler raises money from things he sells himself such as his 
book, items on his website.  But he also gets a lot of support 
now from crowd funding and people who invest in the idea of 
giving back to veterans.  There have been churches lately 
that donate as well financially.  
((Tyler Stallings, CEO, Kid Time Enterprises))  
My name is Tyler Stallings.  I am eight years old and I am 
the CEO of Kid Time Enterprises.  So, Kid Time Enterprises 
is a business and also a charity.   
((Andrea Blackstone, Tyler’s Mother))  
When Tyler was four years old, I happened to show him 
some videos about veterans.  We are from a family of 
veterans.  My father served, my brother and grandfather and 
so many other people.  And I just thought it would be nice for 
him to understand what a veteran is.  I didn't expect him, 
when he was so young, to latch on to the idea that some 
veterans were homeless, which he saw on some of the 
videos. 
((Tyler Stallings, CEO, Kid Time Enterprises)) 
I help homeless veterans because I feel it.  You know they 
served our country.  It's not fair for them to be out in the 
street.  I wrote a book called Tyler Goes Around the 
World.  It's about me going around the world and making 
sure that people being kind to each other and making 
friends.  Every sale, some of the profit goes to help veterans. 
((Andrea Blackstone, Tyler’s Mother)) 
Kid Time Enterprises is a company that I started for Tyler to 
empower him as a young person.  I wanted him to grow up 
understanding that he is not just a consumer in the world but 
he should produce things and save money along the 
way.  So, it's a way for him to express himself through things 
that he comes up with, such as writing books, creating         
t-shirts, anything creative he wants to do to sell.

We also get donations from churches, individuals and stores.  
Today, we are picking up a donation from a store.  
((NATS:  Tyler Stallings & Store Donors))  
This is my thank you card for the donation.   
Oh, great.  Thank you so much.  This is awesome.  Very 
much appreciate it, your nice signature too.  Good job.   
You’re ready?  Okay.   
Okay, you take the big pile.  That weighs less. 
Good pile, good pile in there.   
Good pile, good pile in there.  
Do you think you can get all these in one box?  
Yeah.  
Good!  Let’s see if we can close it.  
Just draw.  Where are we going?  Let us go out this 
way.  We are going to put it in the car.  
Okay. 
Don’t trip.  Good man.  
((Stewart Cohen, Owner, Armed Forces Gear))  
We just love his cause and the young man with a lot of spirit 
and feeling a responsibility to help out people that might 
need help.  And we are happy to be partnering with him. 
((NATS))  
((Tyler Stallings, CEO, Kid Time Enterprises))  
We are packing these bags to give them to the homeless 
veterans.  I think we're going to deliver over 50 hero bags 
plus many more hero boxes tomorrow.  
((NATS:  Tyler Stallings & Andrea Blackstone)) 
Two hundred and sixty dollars!  
Wow, from a school in California.  That will really help you 
out Tyler, to buy some more things. 
Yes!  
((Tyler Stallings, CEO, Kid Time Enterprises))  
When I do fundraising, if someone says no, that means one 
closer to a yes.  
((NATS))  
Slowly, slowly, slowly.  
((Andrea Blackstone, Tyler’s Mother))  
We thought this would be a one-time thing, but we’ve been 
doing it over four years.  
((Tyler Stallings, CEO, Kid Time Enterprises))  
I also like to read because it makes you smart.  
((NATS))  
At this time, I would like to introduce you to an eight year old 
superhero, Mr. Tyler Stallings.  
Thank you, young man.   
You are welcome.  Thank you for your service.  
Thank you.  
Thank you, buddy.  
You are welcome.  
Appreciate it.  Give me bones.  Alright. 
It’s like Christmas.  
((Steven Blevins, Navy Veteran)) 
Tyler is a great guy.  I will be scared to death to be doing 
what he's doing right now.  For an eight-year old, he’s got a 
charitable heart.  I think we can all learn something from 
Tyler in that regards.    
((Cereta Spencer, Community Engagement Director, 
Maryland Center for Veterans Education and Training)) 
Tyler brings smiles to the Maryland Center for Veterans 
Education and Training.  Whenever he comes in with in kind 
donations and gifts, he brings a wonderful light to their eyes. 
((NATS)) 
Thank you so much.   
You are welcome. 
((Tyler Stallings, CEO, Kid Time Enterprises)) 
I do not think that I am too young to do this project because 
anybody can do this.  No one has to have a big pile of 
money or be a millionaire or have a fortune.  People can 
start from their own backyard, their own house.  I plan to 
keep this project up and keep it running as long as I can do 
it.  
((NATS))  
Thank you, man.   
You are welcome.
