Mantle Cell Lymphoma

Mantle Cell Lymphoma

Jim, I wish you could have seen the tears in Lamoy's eyes when I gave her the $100 check from the lady who wrote a letter saying that this was to be used to help her "start her business". Wonderful people donating to help this worthy family. I am all out of organic cherry seeds to send but all I can do is keep praying that people want to share what they have and donate to her before April 15th when they will get a tax writeoff.

As for the lymphoma, wheatgrass juice does work miracles. But, it's not what we add to our diets, it's what we consistently refuse to take into our bodies: salted processed cholesterol and oils of any type. No olive oils, no flax seed oil (just soak the flax seeds or grow them into plants), no animal foods of any type and make sure that the food is liquified (juiced or blended) in order not to stress the body. Don't put any lotions or oils on the surface of the skin because that just adds to the problem. A little avocado and natural oils from soaked nuts and seeds will supply, along with the dark green leafy greens and sea vegetables, everything that is needed in the way of essential fatty acids.

Peace and love be with you

I got a care food pkg from Angela Stokes for Lamoy, Joe & the Kids

John Romano drives to their home to get his weekly supply of food from Lamoy on Sunday. He has the huge box of food Angela sent and he will take it up to them. It arrived at a time that they really need it. They are a month behind on their rent and I know they feel blessed that their landlord is not being pushy about it. This is the first time they have been behind. I took her some food yesterday morning and when I came home, there was the package at the post office and I cannot go again until Tuesday, but John is kind enough to do it a few days earlier.

One of their sons had his 7th birthday a week ago and he shyly asked me for a present the next time I come. He got underpants, but no toys. She is happy to know that the principle for the bail bond has been paid off, after a generous check from Brenda Cobb of $300, and is struggling to make sense of having to pay interest too, because she was just subtracting the payments from the $6,250 balance, plus a $75 fee twice for having to move the money to different cards when they didn't make the payment on time and the interest shot up to usury amounts.

This innocent young family had not even had a checking account when I met them and had been trying to live just from their pocket change. When they were asked for $12,500 as bail, the bail bondsman gave them 50% to him, with my guarantee, and 50% to my credit card (with my guarantee). They made the $300 per month for the bail bondsman, but when it came to my credit card, the minute they were forced into that expensive home by the state, with the payments of $1,400/month for just the rent, there was nothing left. She has gotten her driving license, and has sent in the papers for her business license.

She's almost there to being an independent businesswoman with a catering service. Help her just a little longer, and then she will make us all proud. I'm proud of her for just being a good, loving mother under the circumstances, and trying as hard as she is to help others, and never doubt God's path for her.

Asha & Eric warmed hearts - Andressohn Family Update

In Longmont, CO., Asha & Eric warmed hearts with $20 donation today

For the Andressohns. And, a huge bag of our favorite snack in the world, organic mulberries, from someone who cares at 866-RAW-DIET (729-3438), www.TheRawFoodWorld.com. I think of my beloved tree in VA, which got eaten up by kuzu in my absence, and the trees at the NE corner of S. Temple & State Street in SLC, UT and the last time I ate them were with Lamoy and little Joy, picking them right from the trees for sale to the owner's customers last year!

Dr. Wigmore wrote an important pamphlet, "WHY YOU DON'T NEED TO GROW OLD" that many people have not read yet. I want to quote from the preface written by Dr. Saul Heller, Diplomate, American Board of Psychiatry & Neurology; Past President, N.Y. State Board of Medicine (how about those for hefty credentials - besides, he was a gorgeous hunk in his senior years when I met him in Boston at the Commonwealth Avenue Wigmore Institute):

"While attending Cornell University medical College in the 1920s, I received a basic course in the science of neutrition. Its content concerned food components, how they are digested and utilized, and how their caloric values are determined.

However, the relationship of this knowledge to the health of the body was limited. It was not until 1982 that evidence came to my attention that live foods are helpful in the treatment and prevention of cancer. This study was conducted by the National Institutes of health in Washington, D.C., but unfortunately it's findings were not widely publicized.

In 1984, when I personally developed an inoperable malignancy, I sought treatment other than chemotherapy and radiation. I contacted Alternative Cancer Therapies, Inc., and learned about Dr. Wigmore's program at the Hippocrates Health Instittue in Boston, which she founded. My wife and I entered their two-week learn-by-doing program in Boston. What makes this regimen so unique is its emphasis on the importance of cleansing and detoxification as a preliminary phase leading to rejuvenation through the use of the life food diet. We found this approach so helpful in restoring our health and vitality that we have adopted the live food regimen as our own pattern of eating and living. This program, as in my case, offers the best alternative for people who are suffering from inoperable diseases.

I've enjoyed reading Dr. Wigmore's latest of her many publications, "Why You Don't Need to Grow Old" and feel that readers in general will find it of great value. Many will want to incorporate the message into their way of life because of the many benefits that will follow. I must emphasize that the program is not just a diet but is founded on many general principles, such as the power of the mind, importance of attitude, exercise, colon care, etc. It is, therefore, a total lifestyle.

Up to this time, the results of this program in the control of malignancies has been based on thousands of case studies. Because of this, the scientific world should be profoundly interested in the physiological effects on the human body following an incorporation of the live food diet into one's daily routine.

I understand that Western Medicine has had to combat the influence of unbalanced and faddist diets in order to protect the public. Therefore, their approach to the radical introduction of a program which includes fruits, vegetables, fresh greens, baby greens, soaked and sprouted seeds, grains and nuts, replete with enzymes and chlorophyll, has been either to dismiss the diet or to exercise ultra-caution. They have done this because many people find it difficult to incorporate its practices into their daily lives. However, when the medical profession realizes that there are sufficient proteins in an easy-to-digest form as amino acids, complete minerals and trace mineral daily requirements, and no levels of dangerous fats and oils, their attitude will (and has - Dr. Flora's 2 cents) become more amenable.

I hope and anticipate that the results of these case studies will continue to confirm and reinforce Dr. Wigmore's findings on the efficacy of this program in the amelioration of the aging process and restoration of total health through disciplined dietary habits.

New efforts should be exerted to initiate clinical studies with diagnosis and scientific documentation of the findings including all appropriate laboratory tests and x-rays. All the scientific findings available to date show no reports of adverse effects beyond the temporary difficulty of overcoming addictive foods and drinks.

It's my fervent hope that the American Medical Society will not summarily dismiss this program as purely anecdotal before results of scientific investigation are completed, and that they would encourage people to take advantage of this alternative, if they so desire."

Dr. Heller had no more problems with erectile dysfunction once he got off dairy and animal products, fish and fowl and got into electric food, mixing his watermelon and apples with his greens quite nicely and peacefully. He uses no salt but soaked dulse, no acid vinegars, no citrus, no nightshades. No Braggs (poison), no nama shoyu. No concentrated sweetener like agave syrup. No dead proteins like raw (really dead) canned tahini. Please send this info from Dr. Heller to everyone who might benefit from his confidence and his medical history. Dr. Flora prays that you will stick with the Real Ann Wigmore Energy Soup, and use plenty of weeds like lambs quarter and purslane like she did the last 2 years of her life, save your seeds, and use local fruits. Remember, you only get electrical energy from fresh fruits.

Update-Christmas for the Andressohn family

We are having a great Christmas for the Andressohn family! Lamoy said she would like to have help, but she has no money for presents. I worked all day wrapping presents for children all over Homestead and Florida City, and John Romano, my co-teacher in English for the Coalition of Florida Farmworker Organizations, came to help too, and he carried out a huge bundle of toys for the Andressohns that we picked out together, thanks to the Catholic Church thrift store's clients donating brand new toys for the community children.

I was also given some toys and books for the Andressohns from the YWCA of greater Miami. If anyone would like to donate some money to them also so that they can retire their bail bond debt, please send check, cashiers check, or money order to: make it payable to me: Flora Van Orden PO Box 900963, Homestead, FL 33090 and maybe by the new year, this financial monkey will be off their backs!

They are trying so hard and working diligently, but the rent is just so high they have nothing left over to pay me anything.

God bless everyone and keep up with the raw/living loving energy!

- Flora

Thanksgiving with the Andressohns

Went to visit and Lamoy was busy with her children in the kitchen preparing her feast. I really enjoyed having 'our' little Joy playing all over us!

The children are so healthy and the home they are renting is up for sale. Their yard is looking like a jungle with papayas hanging heavy on their trees, and so many fruits and vegetables, coconuts and other goodies peeking out from behind leaves. I took them a monstera deliciosa plant and ripe fruit. I also took many boxes of donated Paradise Farms baby greens and a case of their organic avocados.

They are still up against the wall financially, so I hope that some viewers will share their abundance with them. I took the children some clothes and toys, too. I love that family and what they are doing for their children. I then went to Paradise Farms Organic Farms and spent some time with Gabrielle and on to the Everglades International Hostel in Florida City where to my delight, there were many vegan dishes at their feast, as Owhnn has returned from Puerto Rico with ideas she has turned into reality: a raw food kitchen for the hostelers.

So, if any people are coming to visit South Miami area or the Keys, $25 will get them a student dorm room and the best raw vegan food available.

Generosity from Afghanistan

Don Zabinsky from Afghanistan is most generous with his SECOND $500 check for the Andressohns.  He sounds like he is part of the fight for freedom, the freedom to choose what we eat without being persecuted.

Andressohn family update, 7/18/2006

Today, I put the Andressohns in the car and we went to their monthly meeting. 

Lamoy told me wonderful things have been happening.  3 of her children have said they want to go back to being vegans/raw food people now. 

Little Joy is eliminating from her nose the goat's milk that someone gave her who was taking care of her earlier.  I love the full moon wane when people can blow and cough out what they have been storing all month long!  She took the little lady to the doctor and he said she is fine. 

Every time I am out with them, the general population remarks on her sweetness, and finishes it off with "but she's so tiny!"  Yes, tiny and perfect, just like her mom!  Lamoy is afraid if her baby loses any weight, that she will cause anxiety in others, but I told her that it will be normal if she loses weight while she is eliminating, and she should be just fed breast milk and water until she's clear of her mucus - perhaps a little papaya and maybe some freshly juiced ripe pineapple juice. 

It's delightful being around her children.  So smart.  The little girl is smartest in her kindergarten class, and one of her sons has a genius in math, another, has tested genius.  A blue ribbon to the mom, for causing the little brains to develop to their maximum with the raw foods. 

I took them to Wild Oats and everyone was so glad to see them.  I have to teach, so I had to drop them off. 

Lamoy said the lawyers are preparing to do something because the prosecutor coached (and bribed the children with chocolates) before the trial.

Peace and love,
Flora

Party at the Andressohns - rec'd 7/9/2006

Joe Andressohn gave me a $50 bill yesterday to reduce their bail bond amount that is owed.  He was exhausted from working since dawn cutting lawns.  I hesitated to take it from him because it has been raining so hard in the past few days that he has had not much time to cut people's yards to make the $1,400 rent it takes each month for their new house.

I am counting on the generosity of the people out there in the raw food world to help them out because the remaining balance is less than $2,000 now. Reduce your income tax at the same time, perhaps. Help everyone, let's reduce this to zero and take the pressure off this family.

I picked Lamoy and the children up yesterday and started to go to a going-away party for friends who are taking their children to Costa Rica to farm, and we passed by a man in a wheelchair with one leg.  I turned the car around and stopped at a church that was having a picnic/barbecue with a large sign "FREE FOOD."  I told them that we were going to feed a crippled man who was begging on Highway US1 and they gave us 5 hotdogs and 5 cans of soda pop, and some chicken.  I got a plate of beautiful fruit.

I explained to the man that the children were from a raw food family and they were vegetarians.  The man walked over to the car and exclaimed how beautiful the children were.  The man invited them to come to church this Sunday (today).  He mentioned that the hotdogs were turkey and wondered if they would be OK; I don't think he understood the raw part.  I will leave it up to Lamoy if she wants to pursue that and help him understand at some future time.

Anyway, we drove back to the man and gave him the food at the corner of US1.  We then drove to the party and the children went wild with the raw food there! 

They are such well behaved children, and so intelligent.  They will begin to eliminate a lot of the cooked food they were provided when they were living with Joe's sister.  I expect to see a lot of runny noses and cold symptoms, soon, with the full moon up.

So much watermelon, durian, raw vegan pates, raw fruit and nut pies, mangos, salads, etc., etc.  I listened to one of Tim's wonderful demo CDs that had a song on it "Raw Food Boogie," which had us all dancing, even little Joy, the Andressohn's year-old daughter.

It was really hot outside and it was such an added blessing to be raw because I was not uncomfortable in the heat and humidity at all.

Two guests had added some olive and coconut oil to their salads, which I didn't eat, because it would have really made it impossible for me to stop sweating in the heat (especially at night) and would have made me very uncomfortable in the day, too.  Oil stops the circulation and electricity in the body.  It was so evident yesterday that it's a boon to be raw in this tropical heat. 

A cold wave came in last night from the NW and the raw fooders put on jackets!  Tim even remarked how cold it was.  The people who were at the party who were cooked food eaters were comfortable.  I'm grateful that I have such perfect circulation, even though I do get cold when the temperatures are below 85!

I really made a pig out of myself on the durian and then realized what my body was doing.  It is SUCH a delicacy, but it was still dead.  It's like what would happen if I tried to eat baked yams or something like that;  I would end up with my stomach sticking out, but still be unsatisfied because of the lack of enzymes.  The durian had been frozen and the enzymes were long gone.  That's why my body was craving more and more but I wasn't getting satisfied, just stuffed.  I would like very much to eat some unfrozen durian and won't eat any more frozen.

So, we ate watermelon.  The children tried some berries on a tree that was called a strawberry tree.  The first bite really did taste like strawberry, even though it was a berry.

I'm going to make some veggiekraut today.  I want some every day of my life. 

My monstera deliciosa are getting ripe now.  They take 20 months.

Peace and love,

Still trying to pay off the bail bond

Now that Joe and Lamoy are in their new home, they have not one dollar to spend for reducing the debt for their bail.  Please put out another plea for donations. 

I already counsel people freely so cannot add that as a bonus; that free counseling is a given. 

The only bonus extra I can think of is for someone to come and spend the weekend at the International Hostel in Florida City, and I'll go out with them to the Biscayne Underwater National Park and we can have a whole bunch of hours of visiting in the water!

The conditions that led to the Andressohns being reported

--- Dr. Flora Van Orden wrote:

Actually, in this neighborhood, 'the man' is not white. The neighbors who complained about the children were not white, they were fat African Americans and Spanish speaking. The children (and the mother and father) ARE 'off the chart small' because they are petite people; and terrifically healthy!

Dear Dr. Flora,

Ahh, I see. So the childrens relative petitness was a challenge of the status quo? Yes, I wonder, and you would know this as a doctor, how much the scales have been 'tipped' towards obesity as the norm? - so average correct weights for children are larger than they should be, and a society of fat people doesn't have to concern themselves with their overconsumption (of food and other
things), can look the other way instead of at themselves?

I recently had a raw-food friend in the Eugene area go on a fast with her young daughter. I didn't give her any complaint, as long as her daughter was okay with it. - who has been on raw foods since (before) she was born. Her daughter is also very 'thin' compared to normal, obese, neighboors and such, though very happy and healthy. Anyone who genuinely listens to her daughter
can hear this.

I regard your comment about meat consumption being linked with fear, not suspect, although pending on a number of other factors. You, meaning the plural you as well (U.S. middle and low income), are under the most successfull brain-washing propaganda campaign, probably in history.

Enhanced and expanded since the import of most of germanys' scientists of nazi propaganda (600 members), and initially under the control of the CIA, I currently find the florida neighboors fears coming entirely from meat consumption a little bit suspect. In europe, we eat meat and don't seem to have the pervasive level of fear, as most north americans, within the U.S.

I think fear must be very profitable! In an undemocratic society, to subvert the coffers to killing, propaganda/fear is important to maintain! Propaganda so successfull it does not appear to exist to many people.

In the democratic societies of germany and france, people here are much less concerned about other people's business, at least in the big city. I'm sure if the andressons were living here, they would get much less flack. Plus, people are so much skinnier here than in the U.S., the andressons children would blend right in.

This caused me to think about Jurgen Haas who was going around declaring children to be his (german law provides for this) so they could become german citizens, and get the educational and health benefits. I googled his name to find out more, and he comes up as a 'race-traitor' on the stormfront.org website, which has a list of George Orwell titles at the top, which then led me to http://www.exile.ru/2005-October-21/big_brothers.html, this article showing how, in fact, Orwell was a racist, and how Christopher Hitchens, featured on current north american news stumping for orwellian ideals, is his heir. Funny how these things link together!

With Cares,

In some oriental philosophies, the lowest chacre (in the bowels), is associated with fear and feath.  They seem to feel that eating dead food keeps us in that lowest.  Fresh fruits and fermented foods like seed and nut cheeses, pre-alcoholic fermented grain waters, and autolyzed starches (like sauerkraut) speed up the vibrations of our bodies and then we feel love and cannot assimilate reaction (fear and anger) because other's negative emotional waves flow through us and leave, whereas if we were reactive, the wave would collapse and this would be the beginning of dis-ease.

I've travelled to 41 various countries now to listen to the elders speak on the human condition and how to achieve peace.

Dr. Flora and the Andressohn family

[6/10/2006] Yesterday at 10 I 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.  I reminded the judge that her 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.

I 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. We then 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.  Someone had donated a whole living room set (couch, chair, end tables and coffee table) and the living room area looked lovely.  The wood in the pieces matched the wood of the dining room table and chairs.  All they need now is a green rug to pull it together and I looked in some thrift stores after I left their house for something.  I left some sheets, pillowcases and pillows and will bring some blankets today, even though they don't need them because it is 89!  Before I left, I went to a neighbor who donated 6 coconuts to me and I left them with Joe, who popped one open for me before I left them to enjoy each other.  Two 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.  I will pick them up tomorrow for a picnic on the beach before we go back to return them to their caretaker.

Thank you again for all of your help in getting money to me so that their bail bond indebtedness to me is reduced. God is so good.  And, the raw food community is so loving.

The Andressohns have their children back

[6/13/2006] Welcome to the latest update of the Andressohn family, who were 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 people stepping up to the plate and helping the Andressohns. One of those is none 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.

    
 

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 http://www.rawfriends.com/andressohns.html to discover all the details. Then be sure to read our updates page at http://www.rawfriends.com/updates.htm. [Or see the sidebar link on http://rawlivingfoods.typepad.com. - Jim Carey]

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 that 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. Two 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!!!

If you would like to send a direct donation to the Andressohns you may do so at…

10810 SW 171^st street

Joe and Lamoy have paid down their $12,500 bail bond to $2,000. They still desire your help to get this debt off their back. Dr. Flora is the one who laid her credit card down with no questions asked to bail these people out of jail after 99 days. Once this last $2,000 is paid we will all be able to breathe a little better. You may write Dr Flora at drflora3rd@yahoo.com  if you have questions about the bail money. Or, you may send her any donation that’s on your heart at…

Dr. Flora Van Orden

Andressohn Family Update 6/10/2006

Joy's First Birthday

The Andressohn's are at a new address now. They had to move into a home in order for their children to come home to them, instead of a rented space in another's home. They are approximately 4 blocks from where they were before, on 171st in a wonderful yellow home. No furniture to speak of and I am going to take them down to the Catholic Church thrift store to get some this week.

I took her to the grocery store today to buy fresh produce to make dinners for some of her admirers who are finding good health now that they have switched to living and raw foods. She so carefully picks out the most beautiful produce and prepares it with love. Delicious nut pates and sea weed salads, delicious drinks and seed and nut cheeses. She is very tired because no one was able to help her move, but she was so excited to know that someone cared enough to send a check for $150 and another for $25, which has brought their [bail bond] total down to $2,100 plus a few cents...

God bless everyone,
Flora

 

We have been blessed with many leaders stepping up to the plate regarding the Andressohns. One of those leaders is Victoria Boutenko of RawFamily. 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 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.

Victoria Boutenko has donated a case of her powerful book, Green for Life, toward the Andressohn cause. Each of these books will have a special emblem attached, like the one on the right, 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 visit http://www.rawfriends.com/andressohns.html to learn the details. Then be sure to read our updates page at http://www.rawfriends.com/updates.htm.

The Andressohns both have jobs and do have a vehicle, even though is does need some work. The next big step is the deposit for a new home. In the past we've been asking for your help and are VERY grateful to those of you who have helped from the depths of your heart. Now we're able to give you something for your donation. Anyone who would like a copy of Green For Life may send a check/cash/money order made out to “Joseph Andressohn” in the amount of $17.95. This equates to $14.95 and $3.00 for shipping. These books are packaged and ready for shipment. As soon as we get your check we will send you this dynamic book.

If you would like to donate via PayPal or credit card you may go to http://www.rawfriends.com/opendonations.php. Be sure to enter $17.95 for the book and shipping! This case of books equates to a total of $900.00 to help the Andressohns get their new home to reunite their family. Please send an e-mail to Victoria Boutenko at info@rawfamily.com and thank her for being so generous!!!

We only have a few of these books left, so please hurry with your donation and support a worthy cause.

We have been blessed with many leaders stepping up to the plate regarding the Andressohns. One of those dynamic and powerful leaders is none other than Victoria Boutenko of RawFamily. 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 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.

I just hung up the phone with Lamoy Andressohn after she explained what a wonderful visit she and her husband Joseph had on Tuesday. She also shared that they looked at a house for rent that had three bedrooms and two bathrooms with a back yard big enough to grow a garden. While Joseph is busy doing lawn care (sometimes 12 hours per day) Lamoy is preparing gourmet dishes for her clients. They have been living like church mice in order to save every penny so they can meet the court's requirements, thus allowing them to have the children every weekend from Friday evening to Monday morning, starting June 1st.

At the end of the summer they will have FULL custody and their family will be reunited after a 38 month battle.

What are the requirements?
- A working, reliable vehicle
- A home for everyone to live in
- Both parents working
