“| Explanation:| We would like to ask for your forgiveness and consideration regarding our 2020 and 2021 990n's and ND Annual reports not being filed in a timely manner. We have had a lot of hardship in our organization since the beginning of 2020. First there is the Covid that caused many problems with our volunteer force our bookkeeper volunteer had to quit and our reports did not get filed. We hired another person to help with our finances but before long she passed away. Our records were then tied up with the estate and business. We were not able to get our financial paperwork and books back until the sheriff's department got them to us a year or so later. Other volunteers had many health issues and the head volunteer coordinator lost her husband in Dec of 2021. We are now working with a lawyer and are doing our best to get our organization back in good standing in the state of ND. We are the only program that helps these homeless Veterans in ND that are not able to get any type of assistance from other organizations for some reason or another. Our mission is to improve the lives of these homeless Veterans that did so much for our freedom. thank you for your time and consideration.”
