Did you know that many of the monkeys at Helping Hands are at retirement age? They need our help!

Will you make a holiday gift today to help aging and elderly monkeys enjoy the wonderful retirement they've earned? 

Nicky is one of those monkeys. In fact, nearly two decades ago, I was Nicky's trainer, so he has a special place in my heart. When Nicky learned as much as he could in training, he was placed in Texas with a man named Robert, who had lifelong paralysis. 

For more than ten years, Nicky helped Robert and loved him every single day. Sadly, after more than a decade together, Robert passed away. 

Like many other monkeys, Nicky returned to the Helping Hands monkey college to enjoy his retirement. Today, he spends his days playing with his friends (both monkey and human), eating yummy walnuts, and enjoying bubble baths.

Over the coming ten days, I'll share more about why Nicky is so special: what his personality is like, how he helped Robert, and what he does in retirement. I'll even share some videos and photos of Nicky and his friends! 

In the meantime, will you please make a gift before December 22 to ensure that Nicky and other monkeys like him have the retirement they deserve?

Thank you so much for your generosity during the holiday season!
