I just found out that my 15 month old son has to have emergency surgery and I don’t want to fall behind on the project so I am asking for help. Here is the project overview for the entire project. I did the memo part and attached it below. The assignment information is listed after the review. There are two templates mentions which I also attached. I attached the whole project because I am afraid that I might need help with the rest of it as well so this way whoever helps me with the first part I might come back to you for more help depending how my sons recovery goes. Thank you so much in advance for this. I can’t afford to fall behind right now I am taking three classes right now and I just don’t think I can keep up with this part of the one class.
