Today, please consider bidding on one of the many auctions generously being held online to raise funds to help Nie and her family through this difficult time. Or, you can donate here. And, of course, you can pray anywhere. All proceeds will help support their recovery, pay for medical expenses and cover care for their children.

My heart goes out to Nie, Christian, their beautiful children, and all their loved ones.... but it is warmed by the show of love and support of the blogging community to one of its own.
