Our filing was delayed by unforeseen circumstances beyond our control. The organization faced challenges due to the death of our oldest child in Kenya requiring our Executive Directors wife and a key officer to stay overseas for about nine months in 2025. Staffing limitations administrative changes and a severe winter storm in January 2025 on the Mississippi Gulf Coast further delayed our operations.
