Choonimals and Casa de La Sal

Choonimals isn't always just about drawing weird, creepy animals. A big part of our mission is to use Choons to help charities such as the Casa de la Sal orphanage in Mexico City by donating essentials like medicines and by supporting the nursing staff. Casa de la Sal houses and cares for nearly 25 children and teens living with HIV/AIDS, plus 40 more living at home but who need counseling and financial support. Choonimals made its initial donation to the orphanage in November, purchasing $500-worth (or 6,600 pesos) of essential prescription medications for the kids. By setting aside 10% of all December sales, we hope to raise enough to make a second $500 donation to the orphanage and to continue our relationship with the staff and children.
