Support the NieNie Auction

The lovely blogger Stephanie Nielson who writes The NieNie Dialogues was recently in a plane crash with her husband Christian. While their flight instructor perished, both of the Nielsons are alive, however they are suffering from extreme burns and injuries in an Arizona hospital. This young (Stephanie is 27 and Christian is 29), gorgeous couple is currently facing reconstructive surgery and the slow healing process that is so painful with burns. Stephanie has been given a 60 - 70% chance of survival due to the extent of her burns. The four Nielson children, aged six or younger, are with family and have only the dimmest knowledge of the crash.
