When Tyler was two, God spoke to him. Tyler couldn't speak, but his mom thought that it was interesting that Tyler started stashing away unopened toys that he had bought with his allowance. When Tyler was three, he was able to tell his mom, "They are for the children." He then explained how God spoke to him.
He has given away gifts since then. He has a charity called Tyler's Mission, and he does special things for Easter, Valentine's Day, Mother's Day and Father's Day in addition to Christmas. He has given toys to "kids" from birth to age 105.
The Charlotte Observer reported on his story and obtained comments from Tyler and his mom, Trish:
Trish Strasser says she feels blessed that her son took the time to listen to God at an early age.
'What I am blessed about is that he stood still long enough to listen to God's plan for his life,' she says. She says that while Tyler is welcome to quit his mission any time he chooses, he refuses to even think about it.
'I plan to do this throughout life,' insists Tyler. In addition to providing toys, food, clothing and toiletries to those in need, Tyler's long-range goals include building a safe place for his kids to come and play, which he says he will call 'Ever Ever Land.'
