Stephanie and Christian Nielson's Story

In 2004, young mom Stephanie Nielson became one of the first “mommy bloggers” when she started an online journal about the gifts of motherhood, traveling with children and creating a family home. Over the next four years, thousands of followers shared in the couple’s joy as their family grew.
Their lives changed forever on August 16, 2008, when Stephanie and Christian’s small plane crashed and exploded on impact in the Arizona desert. Over the next four months, their lives and future were in the hands of medical experts at the Arizona Burn Center at Valleywise Health.
Stephanie’s New York Times best-selling memoir, “Heaven Is Here: An Incredible Story of Hope, Triumph, and Everyday Joy” honors many of her heroes in the Arizona Burn Center.
Featured on NBC’s Today Show, ABC News, The Oprah Winfrey Network and many more - and followed by supporters around the country and world - hear their heroic story of faith, hope and family firsthand - as the Nielsons share their gratitude for the compassionate care by the first responders and medical heroes who saved their lives.
