Happy Nie Nie Day to You.

This post has nothing to do with peanut allergy. It has to do with a fellow blogger who needs our help. I don't personally know Stephanie (Nie Nie) or Christian, but their story has moved me and I want you to know about it as well.

Last week Christian and Stephanie Nielson were in a very serious plane crash. They are a young couple with four children under the age of six. They are in critical condition. Stephanie has third degree burns covering 80% of her body and Christian has third degree burns over 30% of his body. The recovery will be very long and very expensive.

If you are able, please consider contributing to this fund that will go directly to the family. http://www.nierecovery.com/

Today, several websites are auctioning off items for their benefit. Go here to see the comprehensive list: http://www.designmom.com/ .

Updates about Stephanie and Christian here: http://blog.cjanerun.com/

If you can't donate or join in the auction, could you say a few words/prayers into the universe for these two (and their 4 children)? Anything can help.

I have been following this story as well. It is sad, but inspiring and hopeful at the same time. An amazing family for sure!
