If you knew Kris, you probably knew she loved Sock Monkeys! She had many stuffed sock monkeys, a sock monkey key ring, sock monkey socks, sock monkey slippers, a flying sock monkey, a screaming sock monkey...
Below are pictures of her with Sock Monkey ornaments, a blanket, and a stuffed Sock Monkey.
As we, her sisters, were contemplating our first Christmas without her, we wanted to come up with some way to keep her included in our holiday - in a way that would make us all smile. That's when we came up with the idea of collecting brand new sock monkeys and donating them to organizations that could use them to bring smiles to others. We found out that most children's hospitals won't accept them because of germ concerns, but other places would gladly accept them - like homeless shelters, women/children's shelters, Toys for Tots, etc.
Our plan is to collect new sock monkeys, and donate them through the year to worthy organizations. And the fun part - we'll document it all here on the blog so you can share in the joy!
