This is the message I received and it says I may end in April .. I hope and I don’t finish 😁
Fingers crossed! 🤞
They don’t say the reason but I think it’s because the program already has time
Thank you for the info!
I participate in this program and it’s a very good discount. Unfortunately, I received a message that ends in April
I’m sorry to hear that. Thank you for the headsup Rossario! Did they say why?
Keep in mind this program may be ending soon as more funding has not been approved
Thank you for pointing it out Jennifer!
