      <ExplanationTxt>To Whom It May Concern: We apologize for making a late filing. Our Certified Public Accountant upon whom we have relied as a pastoral counseling organization for over 20 years has been unable to fulfill his good intentions due to a series of health challenges over the past year. He has promised repeatedly to provide the necessary annual Form 990 but initially several hospitalizations interrupted his plan as he usually chooses to do year end work along with the 990 Report. Several months ago he learned that he needed a triple by pass heart operation which in turn required extensive dental work before the heart surgery could be under taken. He repeatedly assured us that he would produce the 2018 990 Report. However, he has not and as a consequence I am preparing it myself. Thank you for understanding. Sincerely, William J. Manseau, D. Min, LPP, Executive Director, The Emmaus Institute,Inc. XXX-XX-XXXX.</ExplanationTxt>
