NieNie Update

October 28, 2008 by WendyB

Thanks to gorgeous blogger Jennifer for sending me links to two incredible stories on Stephanie “NieNie” Nielson, the blogger who was severely burned in a plane crash in August.

  • A story about the family and the accident
  • NieNie is starting to become aware of her surroundings
NieNie and her family

Once again, thanks to all the bloggers I know who donated money to help NieNie and her family. Special thanks go to Deja Pseu, who won my jewelry auction to benefit the Nielsons with an incredibly generous bid.

You can still donate by clicking the blue button on the right side of this blog.

NieNie’s daughters Claire and Jane sang Golden Slumbers for their mother at a benefit concert Saturday.
