Please read, regard and accept
this personal communication as my sincere apology for any unresolved conflict this
situation may have/or has caused in your current programs, projects or event scheduling
dates concerning my personal participation that I did or may have accepted,
volunteered and/or had made a commitment to co-participate.
Regrettably, I am unable to
attend or engage and have canceled a few recent activities regarding human
trafficking, substance abuse and community awareness outreach projects,
programs and other related events due to a number of serious debilitating heath
conditions e.g. COPD/PTSD that has, unfortunately, re-surfaced during the past
8-weeks and continues or remains unrelenting without relief.
Additionally, the 120+hours
per/week I have worked non-stop during the last 6 and ½ years has “Taken” its
toll and indeed, has been heard around the world, as global trafficking awareness
rings clearly, “For Whom the Bell Tolls”.
Moreover, I am in the
process of stepping-down/aside from two (2) of the three (3) non-profit
organizations I volunteer/work with at this time and more specifically for the health
reasons indicated above including the amount of hours I dedicated to raising
social awareness -verses- working directly with the survivors, their families
now and helping them to avoid further suffering by providing security, support
and housing.
Respectfully submitted with many
blessings, prayers and indeed best regards,
