Monkey Party!

"What we do for ourselves dies with us. What we do for others and the world remains and is immortal. – Albert Pine
 
Sydney and I went to a birthday party last weekend.  It involved inflatables, lots of kids, and lots of jumping.  But it had something you don't typically see at a kid's birthday party - a focus on helping others.

As our friends Carrie & Phil planned this celebration for their twin boys, they added a twist.  Instead of gifts for the boys for their 6th birthday, they asked guests to bring a different type of gift...monkey donations!

They talked about Jenson's vision to send monkeys to kids fighting Histio.  They shared "Monkey Grins" mission of sending smiles to families in desperate need of one. 

Jenson has it right.  Helping others feels good for everyone!  "Monkey Grins" doesn't just bless the families receiving them, it helps us as we help others.

So calling all Histio families --- we have the following monkeys in search of their new home.  Request your smile today!   www.monkeygrins.org
