      <ExplanationTxt>Vanguards was greatly affected by the COVID-19 ordeal. Sadly we lost some family friends and supporters. COVID-19 impacted us not only financially but emotionally as well. We were short staffed and had to make adjustments for safety and health concerns. We were blindsided as well as many other organizations within our community. We are still slowly rebuilding and we offer our sincerest apologies for the late filing and pray we are extended grace. We were able to get assistance with steps to file our reports.</ExplanationTxt>
