I regret to inform you that due to unforeseen personal challenges, including my recent divorce and the loss of my job and residence as a Royal Marine, my ability to dedicate time and resources to the charity has been significantly impacted.
A total of £3250 has been expended from my personal funds to sustain the charity during this challenging period. Despite these efforts, I find it necessary to communicate that, as I am presently undergoing treatment and facing continued uncertainties, the future of the charity may be in jeopardy.
I have apprised the Charity Commission of the current situation during a recent phone conversation, and I am committed to providing ongoing updates as circumstances evolve. I appreciate your understanding during this difficult time and will do my utmost to keep you informed of any developments regarding the charity's status.
Kind regards,
Kheiron Howard
