So listen guys. Holly has just posted that Jon Schnepp is now in critical condition. I know I've asked you to send positive thoughts to Schnepp, but can you also send encouragement to @HollyKPayne right now? When I was in hospital it was the hardest time in Ann's life.

Well, now it’s our turn. Schnepp’s medical bill are astronomical, and they need help. Holly has set up a Venmo and a Paypal for donations, and one of their friends even set up a GoFundMe. Any amount will help, so please, give what you can, and be sure to share so other may help out to.
