Nie Nie and Co.

I know by now that my readership is low/gone because I haven't blogged in months, but I wanted to pass on something that has amazed me.  It is the awesome efforts to support Stephanie and Christian Nielson in their recovery efforts after a plane crash.  Today a marvelous, magnanimous and massive effort to raise much-needed funds for these people started.  I was tipped off to it from Disco Mom, to whom I am proud to claim relation.  It is a silent auction!  I actually think most people that might read my blog may have already heard of this, but if not, it is free advertising.   Most of the gifts are reaching past my giving limit (set by the amount of money in my account at this point, not my own imaginary ceiling).

To see the cool things up for auction, see here!

  So, I will bid on a couple things, but likely end up just donating directly.  But see, that's the point!  You potentially get something awesome, give something needed, and everyone involved gets a cool feeling.  So, my first effort to help will be free advertising.  Here go the banners/buttons!

This one leads to the page dedicated to updates and recovery pitches, especially of note is the blog, which enumerates the upcoming events (like today's Nie Nie Day).

This one is a PayPal link to donate directly.  (Please make sure it benefits nieniefund@gmail.com)

Some other links of note worth are:
Design Mom - one of the people/blogs leading the Silent Auction
Disco Mom - one of the auctioneers (check out her cool wares)

Back History: keep a hanky handy if you are going to delve into these people's blogs after knowing whats happened...
Nie Nie Dialogues - Stephanie's ("Nie") Blog
C Jane Run - Nie's Sister's Blog.


PS.  An added benefit is seeing more of the cool stuff that's out there, that I never knew existed...
