On average, 35 children from ages 4 to 17 attend a weekly children's program and ministry. Approximately 35 college-age volunteers mentor the kids weekly. In addition to providing a safe place for these children, 70-100 women, young adults and children are fed weekly by our various programs. There is a weekly time of fellowship with local college students with an average of 15 attending on a weekly basis. 10-20 women attend our weekly communication group, either via Zoom or in-person, which helps them to identify trauma and how to overcome it. They are also offered education and tools regarding self-care, communication and healthy interaction with others. Our Ransomed Program reaches out to men and women in the sex industry, specifically employees and customers in a local club. 8-10 team members meet weekly to visit the people working in the club. Approximately 30 volunteer hours a month are expended in this outreach. There are baked goods provided by individuals and organizations to around 35 employees and their families weekly, as well as holiday gifts for employees several times a year. We are there to consistently show love and value for every man and woman we meet. Our goal is also to be there when they express the desire to leave the club life, to be able to help connect them with other job opportunities and assist in their transition from their former lifestyle. I am writing on behalf of the Abilene Palm House Board of Directors. We are a busy and vibrant nonprofit that helps women and children who are at risk. We have several programs that mentor vulnerable populations, and we are busy. One of our beloved board members, Maria White, and the person who was responsible for many of our administrative tasks, was diagnosed with terminal cancer in 2022 and passed away in 2023. Even though we were all shocked and saddened by this loss, we persevered and did not stop any outreach programs or turn away anyone in need. However, we failed to submit our last 990 report during this transition. I am very sorry. We have corrected this oversight in our record keeping, and it will not happen again. A late penalty would create a hardship on our mission and many would be effected by such an additional expense. We would like to respectfully request that any penalty be waived due to our oversight during our prior tragic loss and reorganization to ensure that required reporting is timely submitted in the future. Thank you for your consideration of this matter. Marla Polk, President
