Many kids are fighting uphill battles. There are kids with cancer, kids with other serious illnesses, kids with special needs, grieving children, victims of abuse, bullied children, victims of natural disasters, impoverished children, foster children, orphans, and the list goes on. Carlitos is a tangible way to be a source of hope and comfort for these kids, or any kid for that matter.

Carlitos is way more than just a cute, soft comfort toy. The Carlitos patch says “Be Brave”, which is based on the scripture verse Joshua 1:9, “Be strong and courageous! Do not be afraid or discouraged. For the Lord your God is with you wherever you go”.

Carlitos comes with several items that point to that scripture and other Bible verses offering comfort and hope. He also comes with his free kids app and kid-friendly website where he shares stories about how God helps him be brave.

Carlitos reminds hurting kids (and all kids) that they are seen, loved and valued by God, and that they are never alone. Carlitos is not just a comfort monkey. He points kids to their Ultimate Source of comfort, Jesus!
