Charley's Heart was formed to provide support to others in the heart community, to raise much needed awareness of congenital heart defects, and above all, to celebrate the life of our little girl.
After losing Charlotte, our family knew that we needed to do something to help keep her memory alive and to stay involved with other families who have been chosen for journeys similar to our own. Through Charley's Heart we create sock monkeys and donate books for children undergoing hospital stays and procedures. Our hope is to provide a sense of comfort, joy, and support to our heart family. We are so glad you are here!
We realized that sometimes all it takes is a silly friend to keep you company through the rough patches. So we set out to create sock monkeys for our little heart friends around the country.
Charley's Monkeys was launched in 2011 as we found ourselves facing our very first Christmas without Charlotte. We had high hopes that the little monkey that brought so many smiles to our faces could do the same for the kids and families celebrating the holidays in the hospital. Not wanting to stop there, we also started sending monkeys to our little heart friends across the country who were preparing for heart surgeries and scary hospital stays.
