MISSION STATEMENT:
Tyler's Mission is a charitable organization dedicated to bringing joy through the collection and distribution of toys and gifts for special needs children and adults in the community on holidays and special occasions and in emergency situations.
VISION STATEMENT:
Tyler's Mission grew out of a desire to share God's love through collecting and distributing toys, gifts, toiletries and donated clothing and food items to a cross section of people in the community. Groups range from developmentally challenged children to seniors who may have no loved ones to families who have lost everything because of a fire or other disaster.
Tyler's Mission is the accumulation of the hopes and dreams of Tyler Strasser. At age three, Tyler's Mom discovered a gym bag of new toys he had bought with his allowance and had never opened. When asked what they were, Tyler answered, "They were for the children."
Tyler's Mission was born.
Tyler is now close to turning 16 years old, and is an old hand at collecting toys for his kids. At first the toys were distributed to children with special needs, Boys and Girls Clubs, AIDS, and the developmental/mentally challenged. He has added children whose military parents are serving overseas, American soldiers serving overseas, needy children throughout several counties, and senior citizens to his list of causes.
When asked why he does this, Tyler is quick to tell you that God told him that it's his job. Nothing is more beautiful than to see him interact with his children or to see the nursing home residents smile when they see him come in the door. They laugh, sing, and have the best time because they know he really does care.
When he's not helping others, Tyler is a good student, Beta Club member, TSA club member, serves as a youth advisor for Inspired2Impact (www.inspired2impact.org ) and a talented athlete. This surprisingly soft-spoken child seems actually very shy when you first meet him. However, when it comes to his mission, Tyler lets his voice be heard and nothing stands in his way.
Local schools, churches, and businesses along with dedicated volunteers have rallied to sponsor Tyler's vision.
