Additionally, the Monkeys will donate all the uniforms for auctions, with all proceeds going to the charity to support those families in need.
Background on The Eden Social Welfare Foundation
The foundation was founded in 1982 by 劉俠 (Liu Hsia), a female wheelchair writer suffering from rheumatic arthritis. She donated her income from publishing, and a group of volunteers and social workers who shared her vision to bring people with disabilities out of their isolation.
With this in mind, every year the foundation helped over 60,000 families all over Taiwan, with the goal of providing care for people between the age of 0 to 65. Including vocational training, employment service, rehabilitation and long-term care service.
