A young couple, with four young children, survive a plane crash with third-degree burns on over 50% of their bodies and the blogging community came together to raise money, participate in a balloon launch (a family tradition) and support in any way the extended families who are helping house their children, enrolling them in school and becoming their interim parents.

Follow their progress here.
Thanks to Design Mom for hosting several auctions and listing 300+ auctions for Nie Nie Day to spread the word and raise as much money as possible. I’ll update here when it’s complete and we know how much has been raised. Totals are topping $100,000 so far. Amazing!
This is where blogging becomes more than just a bunch of people talking about opinions and arguing over their views of the world; and into the hearts of people to bridge communities.
