The pureness of Tyler’s heart to want to help and his vision and hope to save just one child is what caught his mom’s attention. This experience will be life changing for them and for many others. Sometimes all it takes is telling someone, especially kids, at the right moment that they can do it, and, that you believe in them that can open doors to shape their future. Because of this encouragement, he has not only raised enough money to sponsor seventy-nine children for a year but his message has inspired other children and adults to make a difference.
His vision opened his mom’s eyes. They live in an incredible community with beautiful homes, cars, boats and where most, have everything they’ve ever wanted. The kids are being raised in an environment that rarely focuses on giving to others or saving lives of the less fortunate. It’s rare if they see a homeless person or under nourished toddlers with dirty clothes and no shoes or even those without parents. She is guilty of over-indulging her children and not educating them as much as she feels she should about people and conditions many have to endure just to make it through each day. She sees a huge opportunity to reach out to children and adults everywhere of all ages, kids helping kids. When adults listen to kids about their heartfelt ideas to help others and encourage them to put those ideas into action it can be enormous for their self esteem and their future. Not to mention what it does to those in need that they are helping. The children helping are learning leadership skills, gaining confidence and wisdom, and those receiving are feeling loved, getting needs met and tasting hope.
Coming in 2008: Through Tyler’s inspiration and vision we see an incredible opportunity to empower children everywhere through leadership academies. We will be launching these leadership programs for kids by partnering with adults who share the same passion and values. Building self esteem, teaching communication skills, problem solving, public speaking, accountability, integrity, and team building to name a few of the skills they will gain at these programs. If you would like to find out how to become involved please contact us.
