NieNieDialogues

I've added another link to the blog... Tonight, AOL actually had a link to a story about this young couple who live in Mesa that were in a horrific plane crash a few weeks ago. I LIVE IN MESA and didn't even hear anything about it. Stephanie is "Nie" and her husband's name is Christian. The pilot of the plane was killed, she has burns over 80% of her body and Christian has burns over 30% of his. They have four kids. They are recovering slowly.

I don't know these people but I thought it would be nice to at least put a link to her blog on our page. They're in my thoughts.

C Jane is her sister...

I WAS SADDENED TO HEAR OF THE PLANE CRASH AND INJURIES SUSTAINED. HOWEVER, i AM SURPRISED TO SEE WHERE YOU ARE LOOKING FOR FUNDS...DID THE COUPLE (FAMILY) NOT HAVE HEALTH INSURANCE TO COVER...IS IT NECESSARY TO RAISE FUNDS AT THIS TIME? A READERSWCFH

Unless you have awesome health insurance, it never covers everything.

Plus, even if they do have insurance, I'm sure it has a cap on the amount that they will cover. They've been in the hospital since the middle of August, so I'm sure the bills are racking up. This week, Stephanie is scheduled for a few skin grafts alone.

AND this couple has four kids who are being cared for by Stephanie's sister. (C Jane) I don't know about you but I'm not sure that I could afford to take on four kids on top of the newborn that C Jane has.

Links to donate can be found on C Jane's page... I think I might add one myself.
