My name is Tony Lee and I am Kenia’s stepdad, we did not like to use the ‘step’ in our relationship so I just say dad, The Kenia Monge Foundation is not a Colorado 501(c)(3) nonprofit foundation, it is a foundation in name only, this site was established in loving memory of my daughter Kenia Monge, a young woman who was the victim of a viol
ent crime resulting in her death and the delay of the discovery of her remains until five months later. To honor her legacy, The Kenia Monge Foundation exists to provide women and children in Colorado with resources, education, and funding to engage in safe, healthy, and productive behaviors and activities in the community. In addition, The Kenia Monge Foundation will provide the families of victims of violent crime and families of missing victims with the emotional, physical, and financial support they need to survive this tragic event, I am wanting to retire soon and my income will be limited, the financial support comes mostly from my pocket because I kinda don’t know how to ask for help. THANKS.

I watched your story today and I am so sorry that you lost your sweet baby I lost my baby brother 30 years ago and your youngest daughters words touched my heart. I was his big sister and when my brother was murdered the pain I felt and still feel at times broke my heart. I wish I could give you all a hug especially her baby sister.
I assume detectives did a thorough search of the security cameras of the walk-in cooler where that POS killer of Kenia kept her body, in search of previous crimes he may have committed with a similar pattern (as he alluded to in the Crime Watch documentary)? I don’t know what kind of storage those cameras have, but it’s just a thought.. I’m so sorry for your loss! Such a senseless crime!
Bless you all, and your amazingly kind strength! Thank you for sharing this tragic, horrific situation with all of us. And yet in tragedy, you find grace and blessings to share with others! God bless you all~ 🌷💕
I’ve watched the story on t.v. I find of you to be loving and strong,may I please get more info on the foundation

Hello. I heard about this site and Kenia from the Crime Junkie podcast just this week. Coincidentally, my friend’s son went missing near Gunnison, CO, this week. I see that your focus is on women and children, but I thought I’d inquire on my friends behalf. He is a grown man, but he has disappeared and the police don’t seem to be doing a lot to find him. Do you have any resources you can share?? I hope to hear from you.
Hello
This is an a.azing support that you offer to families that have endured the loss of a loved one. Unfortunately this is an experience you have endured. I am.sorry for your loss of Kenia

I’m trying to get ahold of someone. I have an idea for an app to protect loved ones. I’d like to speak to someone about creating the app. I was trained to be a computer programmer and know my idea can save lives and alert friends &/or family members if the user is in a crisis situation. I don’t wade through my email regularly because of the massive amounts of spam collected over decades but I welcome a call or even a text saying “We just sent you an email”. I just want to help create something that can save lives. I’ve been disabled for a while and I’ve been trying to think of something to do. Although I would like to see this idea available for free to the world so they can protect their loved ones, I also realize someone has to write the flow charts and code for this. I wouldn’t even know what programming language I need to learn to make an app. You may call or text me. My cell# is (619) 339-5782. You can even text to say check your email if it’s something you have to send vial email.
How do I donate to this Foundation?

May GOD rest her soul. I am in victim witness and so are my children. People who do this to others – marks our lives – God can take anything meant for evil and turn it into GOOD for those called according to HIS purposes . May GOD richly bless your life
Hi this isn’t your normal message of a victim. I myself was 19 and was pulled into a apartment and raped and put some people away! And I feel I saved my 2 younger 14 yr old cousin’s. That was my first experience with any court battle. I had to testify and was left across the court house. I was told these men could potentially be “Mexican mafia” if we need you. We will put you in armor and walk underground to court to testify. At that time I met my husband who I felt was my Safety! He was the only one I felt could protect me in public and at home! We have been together for 25+ years! We have 4 children naturally and we gained custody of my 2 step sons at ages 7&8. Now they are all grown. My step son. Aka son met a woman and they had our grandson. He was paying for everything as we run our own business and he works within the family corporation. One morning when our grandson was around 6 weeks old. He awoke and she was gone with little JJ. We call the police and in Utah the fathers have no rights. The police say that she is working with a well known organization. We file the court proceedings to obtain his fathers rights and declaration of paternity. We finally are granted a order to produce the paternity. Our grandson is missing, his ex won’t respond and after she left him she was checked into a mental hospital in Arizona. She had called her ex husband that has full custody and rights of her first son with him. He stated she called from a Arizona mental hospital not making sense. The next thing we do is report to Utah police again we are told he is fine with a well known organization that she threw out the “name” well 2 weeks ago we served that well known organization and they write back they are not party to any case with that name! My fear is she didn’t d something out of anger, mental illness, or $! She met her father the day before and had no job, and our son was taking care of everything and bill! She ended up with a brand new car off a car lot. A Toyota Prius and we have not heard from her since. She left his crib, bed, clothes, diapers, all of it! We can’t get Utah police to do anything due to laws
Hello, I live in Wisconsin, but my cousin Kim Remmel has been missing since May 25th 2012. I can’t help but think this case could be related to her disappearance. I’m not sure if anyone has contact with the murder, but I would desperately like closure on my missing cousin. I’m very sorry for your loss.
I just watched the story of Kenia. Please let me begin with telling you and your family how sorry I am that you lost Kenia.
Your foundation really moved me. I am an older woman in Indiana, and I feel happy that your foundation is helping so many people.
I had bad situations I lived thru, so I know how important it is to educate younger ladies and to help them.
I do not have money to donate, but I will tell others of your foundation. Hopefully someone else will be moved to do what you do.
And, as Lydia said, “live in love, not fear”.
Thank you for sharing your story.
I admire your determination to find your daughter, I have a young boy and if anybody ever took him I would be devastated. Would I have the determination to do what you have done o don’t know, know one does till it happens to them. I could say I do but who knows but your story gives us all strength. That woman who got away without her strength I believe many other women would of gone missing at the hands of that ANIMAL. Please God let him get what he deserves where he is at!
Heard of your story and it brought tears to my eyes to see how the police were acting in the first 72hrs. You are a wonderful father to do all of the work you did for Kenia and for others in your community.
I live in a large city in Canada… Toronto and we still have memorial events for the mass attack’s but not one person has ever done this! Hats off to you and god bless!
May God bless you. I am extremely sorry for your loss.
Kenya,s dad was amazing to keep fighting for her .I hope his family have peace .and what they do now to help young girls is amazing .bless them all .
I watched a documentary about Kenia tonight on YouTube. I lived in Denver and Arvada Colorado from 1996 to 2006. A few years before that I lived in Idaho and was the victim of a kidnapping and SA. I ran from my perp and survived but have never been the same. I am grateful that you have shared Kenia’s story and that of Lydia Tillman. I am so sorry for all that you and your families have endured. It’s not fair and I’m sure you all have never been the same either. I am inspired by the courage it has taken you all to face these tragedies and somehow move forward albeit entangled with the indelible marks of tragedy and trauma. May light and love encircle you always. Blessings to you all including Lydia and RIP Kenia ❤
My 41 year old son is missing. Does your foundation only help with missing women or for missing men and women? Thank you
I recently learned about the case while listening to the Crime Junkie podcast. I want to express my deepest condolences for your loss. I hope that your baby’s soul finds eternal peace. I also wish for your steady recovery and the discovery of happiness in various aspects of life.
Your relentless bravery and unwavering courage played a pivotal role in bringing the perpetrator to justice before they could cause further harm to society. Your determination truly made a difference.
I genuinely hope that Lidiya too is in a good place now, and I wish her a life filled with well-being, longevity, and safety
Thank you for your kind words, your words lift me up among the eagles, but in the end I’m just a dad.
