ReasonableCauseExplanation/ExplanationTxt0GENTLEMEN: I AM RESPONSIBLE FOR COMPILING INFORMATION AND FILING THE ANNUAL FORM 990EZ FOR HELP CHARITIES INC. I CONTRACTED A BLOOD INFECTION AND WAS HOSPITALIZED DURING THE FIRST WEEK OF MARCH 2025. THE BACTERIAL INFECTION AFFECTED MY HEART (ENDOCARDITIS) AND RESULTED IN A TWO WEEK HOSPITAL STAY AND SIX WEEKS OF HOME HEALTH CARE WITH DAILY ANTIBIOTIC INFUSIONS. i WAS ABLE TO RETURN TO MY OFFICE AND NORMAL DUTIES ON MAY 27. I SINCERELY APOLOGIZE FOR FILING LATE AND NOT BEING ABLE TO REQUEST A FORMAL EXTENSION OF TIME TO FILE. I PRAY IT WILL NOT BE NECESSARY TO ASSESS HELP CHARITIES A PENALTY FOR LATE FILING AS A RESULT OF MY THREE MONTH ABSENCE. THANK YOU FOR YOUR UNDERSTANDING AND CONSIDERATION IN THIS MATTER. RESPECTFULLY, LEE J. CONNELL JR.
