We were so fortunate for the Rachael Ray Show to recognize the hard work being done at Louieskids.org. So as of Friday, April 18th we are under another national spotlight. Thanks to the amazing producers there at the show –and all of you, my “village” Louieskids.org is making it happen …one child at a time!
Without all of you this would have never happened. I hope you’ll continue to spread the word about Louieskids.org One of the kids in the piece is over 220 lbs and is only 14. He’s lost 40 pounds and for now is living at the boarding school just outside Asheville, NC. He was eating himself to death before his Mom mortgaged her home to get him to Wellspring Academy (formerly Academy of the Sierra-Carolinas). We’re cheering Kevin on in hopes that he’ll earn a spot at summer camp this year as a reward – and the sealing of his fate for a healthful life.
The other kid is Danielle. Danielle’s entire life has changed since Louie’s Kids started working with her just 2 years ago. Over 60 lbs later and with the self-esteem of 10 kids her age she’s a testament to what we are doing and the fact that it works. Her Mom tells us she raises her hand in class, first, she’s outgoing, energetic and an entirely different kid than she was when we first met her.
