Last month my friend Eliza posted about a young mom named Stephanie Nielson who has a popular blog. Stephanie and her husband were in a private plane crash last month. She and her husband were both critically injured with severe burns to their bodies. They have four small children.
After reading about the story and linking to Stephanie's blog as well as her sister's blog I was truly inspired by the good of people. So many people jumped to the aide of this family to see if there was anything that they could do to help in any way possible.
This is a website about Stephanie and her husband's recovery and ways that you can help with that effort.
I believe there is a link to her blog, The Nie Nie Dialogues, on there. Fair warning though, once you start reading through the archives you may sit at your computer for hours mesmerized by this woman's life. The passion she has for being a wife and mother and just for everyday life in general is very moving. I haven't read all of her archives. I almost don't want to read all of her past posts, kind of like not wanting to finish a good book. It really is the strangest thing how one can feel connected to someone they have never met. I don't consider myself a very religious person but sometimes during the day I find myself praying for this woman and her family.
So have a look and maybe also take a look at the Etsy sale- http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=6167643 they are having for the next two days (proceeds go to benefit the Nielsons) because if you are anything like me after you read Stephanie's blog you will want to donate your entire paycheck to the cause.
Also, if you want to know about how their recovery is progressing click on the below button for her sister's website but prepare yourself for a good cry.
