I'm going to be brief. Please be sure to recommend this diary by Onomastic
Both of the Reed Sisters have had an awful year in 2014, one marked by serious illness for Ann, sick pooties, and a host of other issues. In addition to paying real estate taxes next week to save their home, Sara and Ann have miscellaneous other bills to take care of and the need to replace two PC's.
You can read more details in this diary by llbear and one posted by peregrine kate. If you follow Sara on Daily Kos, you also received a request earlier today by 2thanks.
Many thanks. You all have been great.
