There's a Monkey In My Chair is a program designed for children that are missing school because of cancer. It is designed for pre-school and elementary aged children who are diagnosed with serious illnesses.
Each
child is provided with a "monkey kit" which includes a big stuffed
monkey that takes their place in school when they are unable to be
there. The kits include the monkey with a backpack, a book, and other
items that can be utilized by the child and/or their classmates. All
kits are sent out at no cost to the families or hospitals.
