Awesome Boston Based Non-Profit: Helping Hands Monkey Helpers
Tuesday, July 16, 2013 at 6:21PM We recently learned of the Helping Hands Monkey Helpers non-profit based in Boston and are impressed with their awesome work. According to their website, Helping Hands “helps adults with spinal cord injuries and other mobility impairments live more independent and engaged lives…by providing them, free of charge…with a highly trained capuchin monkey to help with their daily tasks.” Since 1979, Helping hands has been carefully matching monkey helpers with disabled recipients giving them “the priceless gifts of greater independence, companionship, and hope.”
