  • NEW SHOW ANNOUNCEMENT!

    NEW SHOW ANNOUNCEMENT!

    We’ve been working overtime behind the scenes at CEW1775.org — rebuilding our website. We are creating our brand-new interactive coloring book. All the while, we’re trying to pretend we’re responsible adults raising kids and wrangling life. We are also keeping Jimmy from licking electrical outlets… And now… we’re leveling up again.

    Introducing our newest adventure: The Crayon Eater’s Wife Podcast.

    Jimmy and I will be diving into some of our most infamous posts. Yes, THOSE ones. These are the ones that made you laugh, cry, or wonder how we haven’t been banned yet. We share our day-to-day chaos. We also share the shenanigans we manage to fall into. All the “you can’t make this stuff up” moments somehow always seem to find us.

    But we’re also opening the door a little wider.

    We’ll be talking about the real things too—

    The struggles we’ve faced were many. We dealt with ugly stuff we had to walk through. Nevertheless, humor, community, and a whole lot of stubborn love helped us keep going.

    Because that’s what Crayon Eater’s Wife 1775 has always been about:

    1. Healing through laughter.
    2. Finding light in the dark.

    Reminding each other that none of us are alone in this.

    We can’t wait to share this next chapter with all of you.

    Stay tuned—the first episode is coming soon!

  • How Crayon Eater’s Wife Started: A Story of Humor, Healing, and Home

    How Crayon Eater’s Wife Started: A Story of Humor, Healing, and Home

    Crayon Eater’s Wife didn’t begin as a brand, a movement, or a mission. It started with something simple: a small Facebook group and a whole lot of Military humor. A place where veterans, spouses, and supporters could come together, laugh a little, and feel understood.

    We had no idea at the time. This little corner of the internet would grow into something much bigger. It became a true community.

    Over time, jokes and memes turned into conversations. Conversations turned into connections. And those connections turned into support systems. Real people share real stories and real struggles. They experience real healing. All of this is built on an unlikely foundation. It consists of crayons, sarcasm, and the kind of humor only the military world truly gets.

    But behind the jokes was always a deeper purpose:

    To build a space where camaraderie mattered. Where you weren’t alone. Where healing through humor wasn’t just a tagline—it was a lifeline.

    We’ve seen firsthand how depression, PTSD, addiction, isolation, and the weight of transition can crush someone in silence. And we’re done letting people suffer quietly.

    Our mission is simple:

    Break the stigma around mental health and addiction

    Support one another like a real family

    Bring veterans and supporters together

    Heal through connection, community, and laughter

    And remind each other that it’s okay to not be okay

    Crayon Eater’s Wife grew because you showed up—sharing your stories, your humor, your struggles, and your victories. Every day, this community shows that laughter really can save lives. When one of us falls, the rest pick them up.

    Thank you for being part of this wild, heartfelt, chaotic, crayon-colored journey.

    We’re just getting started—and we’ve got your six.

    Our Mission

    Healing Has Many Roads

    What started as one family’s journey through trauma, recovery, and resilience has grown into a movement built on one simple promise:

    No one fights alone.

    CEW1775.org is a nonprofit dedicated to helping veterans, first responders, and their families discover alternative paths to healing. We understand that not everyone connects with traditional therapy, and that’s okay. Healing isn’t about checking a box—it’s about finding what brings you back to life.

    Whether it’s the freedom of a motorcycle ride, the peace found through art, the medicine of genuine laughter, or the bond created by people who simply “get it,” we believe every connection matters.

    Through community events, creative programs, peer support, and opportunities for wind therapy, we’re creating a culture where people don’t just survive—they rediscover purpose, rebuild relationships, and reclaim joy.

    When you support CEW1775.org, you’re doing more than donating to a nonprofit. You’re helping provide hope, connection, and healing to those who have spent their lives serving others.

    Our Story

    Jimmy & Beth’s Story

    Our organization is co-founded by Jimmy and Beth King. The mission is rooted in the personal journey of Jimmy King, a decorated and highly dedicated veteran of the United States Marine Corps. In 2004, while serving bravely in Ar Ramadi, Iraq, an Improvised Explosive Device (IED) attack tragically took one of Jimmy’s legs. The path through recovery was — and continues to be — a monumental fight, not just for Jimmy, but for Beth as his devoted spouse and caregiver.

    But amidst the surgeries, the therapy, and the dark moments of despair, Jimmy and Beth discovered an unexpected, yet essential, lifeline… humor. CEW1775 was born from their shared realization that this powerful, often overlooked, method of healing needed to be shared. Through our programs, we create environments where veterans and their spouses can drop their guard, share their experiences without judgment, and use humor to break down the walls built by trauma and isolation.

    “When you can find a reason to laugh at your situation — even the toughest one — you take back a piece of yourself the injury tried to steal. That laugh is defiance. That laugh is healing.”— Jimmy King
