Crayon Eater's Wife 1775

Crayon Eater’s Wife 1775 (CEW1775) is a nonprofit organization co-founded by Marine combat veteran Jimmy King and his wife, Beth, dedicated to the vital mission of “Healing through laughter.” Born from Jimmy’s personal recovery journey after losing a leg in an IED attack in 2004, our organization provides essential community and support for veterans and their families, utilizing humor as a powerful, therapeutic tool to navigate trauma, foster resilience, and rebuild lives post-service. We empower our community to find strength in shared experience and defiant joy in the face of adversity.

At Crayon Eater’s Wife 1775 (CEW1775), we believe the fastest way to heal is often through a well-timed punchline. We’re not your grandma’s nonprofit (unless your grandma also has a salty sense of humor). We actively execute our mission of “Healing through laughter” by relentlessly flooding the internet with high-quality comedy and veteran-focused shenanigans, proving that a little dark humor is the best medicine. But we’re more than just memes: we back up our online mischief with genuine care, delivering proactive mental health wellness checks and hosting a calendar full of live, accessible events—both digital and in-person—designed to connect veterans and their families, one shared, therapeutic laugh at a time. Basically, we turn trauma into comedy gold so you don’t have to carry the weight alone.

Tired of just scrolling? We are too! Whether you’re a veteran looking for community, a spouse needing support, or just a good human who appreciates therapeutic comedy, we want you in our corner. Drop your contact info below and tell us how you want to get involved. We promise not to spam you—only to send good news about upcoming events, wellness check opportunities, and the ridiculous ways we’re helping vets heal. Your involvement is the fuel that keeps the CEW1775 mission, and our founder Jimmy, moving (literally!). Fill out the form now and help us spread the joy.
