These adorable Sock Monkeys were handmade in Tennessee by ladies attending the East Coast HDT RV Rally in April, a group of people who travel like Rocky and Sheri, towing their large fifth wheel trailers with HDTs, “heavy duty trucks.”

Rally leaders Carl and Donna Wagner called to ask if the children would enjoy them if the ladies took on the project?  You can see for yourself how they were received!

Just like the children, each monkey was so uniquely different than the others. Directora Alejandra brought each child over one at a time, and each one immediately recognized their “own” monkey without hesitation.  I wish these were all little videos instead of still shots.  Lots of smiles, hugs, and monkey gymnastics.  Let’s pray that these monkeys are more than toys, but bearers of comfort and friendship to children missing their families.

Thank you so much for thinking of us, Carl and Donna, and thank you ECR HDT Ladies for contributing your time and talent!
