(CNN) While most kids would ask for the hottest toys for their birthday, five-year-old Tyler Sliz from Libertyville, Illinois, asked for something unexpected -- bedding ... yes, like blankets, pillows and sheets. "He told all of the guests that if they brought anything else, he wouldn't play with it," Tyler's mom, Jackie, told CNN. Two guests gave Tyler money, but even that he used to buy more bedding, Jackie said. Since Tyler's birthday last fall, he has helped donate 125 pieces of bedding. The Sliz family initially learned of Sleep in Heavenly Peace through their church St. Joseph Catholic Church.
