      <ExplanationTxt>To whom it may concern, I am writing to explain the circumstances surrounding the late filing of our organizations tax return for 2024. As the President and co-founder of Headed For Furever Inc., I take our compliance responsibilities seriously, and I regret any inconvenience this delay may have caused. This year has presented significant personal and organizational challenges that contributed to our inability to file on time. Firstly, I have been the full-time caretaker for my mother, who has been seriously ill. As her only child, my responsibilities have increased substantially, requiring my constant attention and care. Additionally, I have been facing my own health issues, which have resulted in my being out of work on disability since August, 2024. This has made it increasingly difficult to manage my responsibilities at the rescue effectively. Moreover, earlier this year, we experienced the unexpected departure of two of our board members who played crucial roles in the operation of our organization. Their absence has placed an overwhelming burden on me, as I have had to assume their duties in addition to my own. These combined factors have significantly impacted my ability to focus on the timely preparation and filing of our tax return. I deeply appreciate your understanding of our situation and respectfully request consideration for this delay. Thank you for your attention to this matter. I am committed to rectifying this situation and ensuring our organization remains compliant moving forward. Sincerely, Morgan McCarty President Headed For Furever Inc.</ExplanationTxt>
