As some of you know, last week my cousin Christian and his wife Stephanie Nielson were in a very serious private plane crash. They are a young couple (Stephanie is my age) with four children under the age of six. It has been a very emotional time for my family, but we have felt tremendous support from our LDS faith and from wonderful friends.
Christian and Stephanie are still in critical condition and because Stephanie has third degree burns covering 80% of her body and Christian has third degree burns over 30% of his body, their recovery will be very long and very expensive (into the millions).
Today, several websites of friends, family, and others who are deeply concerned about the Nielsons are auctioning off items for their benefit. There are some really beautiful things for sale and all of the proceeds (in some cases, a portion) go to the recovery fund for the Nielsons.
You can see the comprehensive list here: http://www.designmom.com/
or donate directly here: http://www.nierecovery.com/
You can read updates about Stephanie and Christian here (written by Stephanie's sister Courtney): http://blog.cjanerun.com/
Stephanie has long blogged about her little family here: http://nieniedialogues.blogspot.com
Please feel free to forward this to others who either know Stephanie & Christian or who may be into online shopping :) (There really are some beautiful things for sale! - Many handmade items).
Love
