THIS CONSISTED OF CREDIT CARD PAYMENTS AND CHARGES, POSSIBLY CASH TRANSACTIONS AS WELL AS PAYMENTS OF PERSONAL EXPENSES FROM THE MISSIONS BANK ACCOUNTS. THE SPENDING OVER THIS TIME PERIOD CAME TO A GRAND TOTAL OF 220,419.51. IT WAS DISCOVERED IN MARCH TO APRIL OF 2022 BY THE NOW ACTING TREASURER KARI BUNTING. IN LIGHT OF THESE DISCOVERIES THE CREDIT CARD COMPANIES AND LAW ENFORCEMENT WERE CONTACTED AND NOTIFIED OF THE EMBEZZLEMENT. THE PALMA'S WERE ABSCONDED FROM THE MISSION, AND DAVID PENNELLS RESIGNATION WAS DEMANDED. ALL OLD BANK ACCOUNTS WERE CLOSED, AND NEW ACCOUNTS WERE SET UP TO ENSURE LIMITED ACCESS. THE LOCKS AT THE FACILITY WERE ALSO CHANGED, AND GIVEN TO LIMITED ACCESS INDIVIDUALS.

FORM 990, PAGE 6, PART VI, LINE 5 IN EARLY 2022, BOTH KARI BUNTING AND NATHANIEL JOHNSON, ESQ., WERE APPROACHED BY THE ACTING PRESIDENT OF THE ABUNDANT LIFE MISSION BOARD, MATTHEW SIEGWART, TO SEE IF THEY WOULD BE ABLE TO SERVE ON THE BOARD, AND MEET WITH THE CURRENT BOARD. APPARENTLY THE MISSION WAS IN FINANCIAL TROUBLE AND THE BILLS WERE NOT BEING PAID. ON INFORMATION AND BELIEF, THE BOARD AT THE TIME CONSISTED OF MATTHEW SIEGWART, PRESIDENT, DAVID PENNELL AS EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR, JOSHUA PALMA AS "ACTING DIRECTOR- AND JENNIFER PALMA AS TREASURER. MATTHEW SIEGWART INFORMED THE BOARD THAT HE DID NOT KNOW THAT HE WAS LISTED AS PRESIDENT, BUT WOULD FULFILL THE DUTIES GOING FORWARD. A WALK THROUGH WAS CONDUCTED AT THE MISSION ON MARCH 24TH, 2022 WHICH REVEALED THAT THE SHELTER WAS NOT BEING MAINTAINED OR MANAGED PROPERLY. EMERGENCY MEETING WAS HELD ON MARCH 30TH, 2022, WHERE KARI BUNTING WAS VOTED IN AS INTERIM TREASURER, AND NATE JOHNSON AS INTERIM SECRETARY. THEY MET WITH THE BOARD AND ASKED FOR FINANCIALS, BUT NONE WERE PROVIDED. THEY ASKED JENNIFER PALMA IF SHE KEPT RECORDS AND SHE STATED THAT SHE DID NOT. IT FURTHER CAME TO LIGHT THAT THE PALMA'S WERE HOMELESS AND LIVING IN THE SHELTER. THE BOARD VOTED TO MAKE KARI BUNTING THE INTERIM TREASURER AND PASSED A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING HER TO INVESTIGATE THE FINANCIAL CONDITION OF THE MISSION. AS INFORMATION CAME IN, IT BECAME CLEAR THAT MR. PENNELL WAS NOT SUPERVISING THE ORGANIZATION, AND HIS RESIGNATION WAS DEMANDED. THE BOARD THEN BROUGHT IN TWO NEW BOARD MEMBERS. THERE WAS NO MONEY IN THE SHELTER'S BANK ACCOUNT, AND A MAJOR SOURCE OF FUNDING THROUGH PUBLIC GRANTS WAS NOT BEING UTILIZED TO FUND THE SHELTER. THE BOARD THEN CORRECTED THE FUNDING APPLICATION, AND OBTAINED EMERGENCY SHELTER FUNDING WITH THE CLOSE SUPERVISION AND COLLABORATION OF THE SALVATION ARMY, AS THE ADMINISTER OF THE EMERGENCY SHELTER FUNDING GRANT THROUGH THE STATE OF MICHIGAN. THE PALMA'S WERE ALSO FORCED TO RESIGN, AND THEN ABSCONDED WITH THEIR DAUGHTER. THE FORMER EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR, ACTING DIRECTOR, AND TREASURER OF THE MISSIONS FRAUDULENT SPENDING AND EMBEZZLEMENT CONSISTED OF CREDIT CARD PAYMENTS AND CHARGES, POSSIBLY CASH TRANSACTIONS AS WELL AS PAYMENTS OF PERSONAL EXPENSES FROM THE MISSIONS BANK ACCOUNTS. THE SPENDING OVER THIS TIME PERIOD CAME TO A GRAND TOTAL OF 220,419.51. IN LIGHT OF THESE DISCOVERIES THE CREDIT CARD COMPANIES AND LAW ENFORCEMENT WERE CONTACTED AND NOTIFIED OF THE EMBEZZLEMENT. ALL OLD BANK ACCOUNTS WERE CLOSED, AND NEW ACCOUNTS WERE SET UP TO ENSURE LIMITED ACCESS. THE LOCKS AT THE FACILITY WERE ALSO CHANGED,AND GIVEN TO LIMITED ACCESS INDIVIDUALS. THIS FRAUD GREATLY AFFECTED THE SHELTER, AS THE MISSION'S PROPERTY WAS NOT MAINTAINED PROPERLY AND THE DEFERRED MAINTENANCE ENDED UP COSTING THE SHELTER MUCH MORE TO CORRECT. FURTHERMORE, THE FUNDS WERE NOT BEING USED TO PAY THE STAFF THE SHELTER NEEDED TO RUN PROPERLY, WHICH HAS NOW BEEN CORRECTED BY THE NEW BOARD OF DIRECTORS.
