QUESTION

Project Management, assignment help

Ijust found out that my 15 month old son has to have emergency surgeryand 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 memopart and attached it below.  The assignment information is listed afterthe review.  There are two templates mentions which I also attached.  Iattached the whole project because I am afraid that I might need helpwith the rest of it as well so this way whoever helps me with the firstpart I might come back to you for more help depending how my sonsrecovery goes.  Thank you so much in advance for this.  I can't affordto fall behind right now I am taking three classes right now and I justdon't think I can keep up with this part of the one class.
