The very first recipient of a Guardian Monkey, and the one who came up with the name.
We here at the Guardian Monkey Project are doing our best to help raise awareness for those who struggle with Mental Health Monsters! (We don't like the term 'disorder,' so we prefer to call them what they really are...monsters.) Our goal is to help Stop The Stigma that is behind mental health monsters.
Not only do adults struggle with these monsters, but children as well, and that is where a large part of our personal focus lies. Showing our support to the children who fight those monsters on a daily basis, and of course their families.

ABOUT US
Our Beginnings:
In April of 2015, when Adhamh was just 2yrs old, he sent a few sock monkeys to one of our deployed service members in a care package from Heroes Betterment Inc.'s Care Package division - sending small toys in the boxes was common for him as it was what he loved spending his chore money on, but this was the first time he had sent his favorite type of small stuff animal - and found out that they loved them just as much as he did! When he sent a few more, he learned that some of the service members were 'fighting' over the sock monkeys. Adhamh had since been searching all over to find more of these "Guardian Monkeys", as his soldier called them.
After sending his first sock monkey, he learned that his soldier, as well as a couple others, had sent a "Guardian Monkey" back home to their little ones, to watch over them while their service member mommy or daddy is deployed. Adhamh, who now had the help of his big brother Aiden, loved nothing more than to sending more Guardian Monkeys to his heroes! The boys soon decided that not only did our deployed need a guardian, but those at home as well.
22+ Veterans take their own lives every day. This was their way of trying to help stop this epidemic.
Today:
As the time has gone on, the boys have expanded their desire of raising awareness.
Not only do they want to bring light to the 22+ Veterans a day, but they want to raise awareness for ALL those that struggle with mental health monsters.
From children to adults, the multiple monsters that are Mental Health disorders know no boundaries, and these two boys want to show the world, that with a Guardian on your side, ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE!
