Helping Hands
Description edit
Helping Hands: Monkey Helpers for the Disabled is a unique national non-profit 501(c)(3) organization that places specially trained capuchin monkeys with people who are paralyzed or who live with other severe mobility impairments. Helping Hands monkey helpers offer independence, hope, and companionship to individuals with severe disabilities all across the country. No fee is charged to the recipients. All costs are underwritten by donations from individual donors, foundation grants, and corporate partnerships.
As a service to the larger community, Helping Hands also conducts public education programs that teach young people how to avoid risky behaviors that can lead to spinal cord injury and how community service can be a powerful way to help others.
Helping Hands trained and placed the first monkey as a helper and a companion to a paralyzed individual in 1979. Since that time, Helping Hands has developed programs to support the lifetime needs of the monkeys and their human partners. These are the Foster Home, Training, Placement, Monkey Care, and Education programs.
