Monkey Helpers for the Disabled  |
|
 Monkey Helpers for the Disabled is a national nonprofit serving quadriplegic and other people with severe spinal cord injuries or mobility-impairments by providing highly trained monkeys to assist with daily activities. As live-in companions, the monkey helpers provide 20-30 years of service, bringing the gifts of independence, companionship, dignity and hope to the people they help.
I think this is awesome. My mother thinks we should look into fostering a baby monkey for them... doesn't that sound fun? It's alot of work though.
