I am sharing this email with you.

From: "RAW FRIENDS" <info@rawfriends.com>

Welcome to the latest update of the Andressohn family, who was struck down by the State of Florida for feeding their children living food and partaking of a living food lifestyle! Great things are happening as we’re getting closer to reuniting the children with their parent’s full time! Yes indeed, you did read that correctly! Read on…



LATEST DONATION….

We have been blessed with many leaders stepping up to the plate regarding the Andressohns. One of those dynamic and powerful leaders is non other than Victoria Boutenko. Now we all know it takes a team effort to get a project off the ground and this is what the Raw Family is all about. Igor, Sergei and Valya also play very important roles. However, Victoria is the one behind the scenes doing massive amounts of research so she can bring you her new and refreshing ideas. In fact, her ideas and writing have been so grand that she has been nominated as a finalist for the Prestigious 2006 IPPY National Book Awards! WOW is all we can say here at RAW FRIENDS.



Green For Life



READ ON….

Victoria Boutenko has donated 1 case (60) of her Powerful book...”Green for Life” toward the Andressohn cause. Each one of these books will have a special emblem attached like the one above representing her nomination. As many of you know, the Andressohns have been on a mission to gain the company of their children after a daunting 30 months of no contact. If you’re not familiar with the case, you may visit [www.rawfriends.com] to discover all the details. Then be sure to read our updates page at [www.rawfriends.com]



IN THE NEWS…

I just hung up the phone with Lamoy Andressohn after she shared that the children are home for their first weekend. THANKS to all of you who have donated to this worthy cause. . She also shared they are in need of any household items to help furnish the house. But more important that this...she wanted me to say a very special thank you to everyone who has donated their time, money or any other donation for this beautiful cause. I have never met two people who are so thankful for the smallest help. When I call to share that a check is on the way….they thank me over and over again. They say I’m an angel but that is not true. They are the angles for sitting on the HOT SEAT for 3 years while their children are being kept from them. These are truly humble people and I know when I need a tune up of how to love unconditionally and how to be humble….I call the Andressohns. This is how they have won the courts sympathy and compassion. They stand strong on their beliefs but they do it with pure Agape love. How beautiful!



DR FLORA TO THE RESCUE…

Yesterday Dr Flora was at court and became the legal guardian of Lamoy and Joe's precious Joy. She is such a petit perfect little lady, smiling and calmly checking out everybody.

Dr Flora gently reminded the judge that Joyah’s BMI (body mass index) is perfect, even though she might be off the chart small because her parents are small yet perfect. The whole court house seemed to respond with love to her and her parents.

Dr. Flora then kidnapped Lamoy and Joe and went to the ocean to celebrate in the waves with Joy. She and I went to the store to pick up some wonderful raw food to bring home for the children.

Then they picked up their other children and took them to their first sight of their new home. Joe had carefully placed fruit trees all around the fenced in back yard and flowers in the front and the children were so excited.

Before she left, she went to a neighbor who donated 6 coconuts to and she left them with Joe, who popped one open for her before she left them to enjoy each other. 2 more successful weekends like this and they will get their children home for good.

This all is happening so very much faster than anyone could have anticipated, and the doctors and judges, the people in the 'system' are all so happy for them and they all have tried so hard to help them in their journey. We are all so blessed!! Thank you Dr Flora!!!

FINAL THOUGHTS…

Remember…this is not solely about the food, rather “your” right to choose a healthy lifestyle!!! It’s about being able to home school your children and have freedom. Its about any right you have toward raising your children! Bad facts make bad laws therefore we cannot let the Andressohn case represent any of these skewed facts! You’ve brought us this far with your love and donations…now let’s gets across the finish line! VAROOOOOOOOOOM!!!
