Donation Please

This story has been going around the blogging world since Sunday. I have been reluctant to post about it because I didn't really know what to say, but as I think about it I'm doing this family a great injustice. If you have heard about the Nielson (NieNie) family, then you know what I'm talking about. If not you can read about their tragic/inspirational story here or you can read Stephanie's blog here. I'm sure even if I didn't know this family, it probably would have felt close to the same way, but since I know them through school and Stephanie is one of my sister-in-law's closest cousins, I feel very connected to them. I can't even imagine what I would do if this were my sister/brother or even my cousin. Words can't even describe the heartache that I feel for them and their entire family (especially their 4 little ones), but as you read Stephanie's blog as well as her sister's you come to know that this family has an incredibly strong understanding of the gospel. And that is truly inspiring. I love them for it even though I don't know them all personally. They have truly made my testimony grow immensely. So, please, please, please keep them in your prayers. And if you wish, I added the donation button to my sidebar for you if you wish to donate in anyway, I'm sure at this point every cent will help immensely.
