We are two sisters who lost our beautiful sister, Kris, in October 2013 after fighting Breast Cancer for 18 years. We wanted to find a way to honor her that would bring smiles and laughter to people's lives, just like she did for us. She loved Sock Monkeys! So we decided to start Sock Monkey Smiles to donate new Sock Monkeys to others who could use a smile. CONTACT US: dandting@gmail.com

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.
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!

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.

Meet Our Sister Kris
This is our sister Kris. She had a beautiful smile, an infectious laugh, and a kind heart. She was a teacher, and loved to help and inspire her students. She was a friend to many. She was the best sister you could imagine having.
Even though we all lived miles apart from each other, we made sure to find time to get together regularly for our "Sister Weekends".
This picture was taken last Christmas, December 2012.
