ACCESS TO ​BURIAL ASSISTANCE 

​We know that there is no right way to experience losing a loved one due to sickle cell disease; we want you to know that you are not alone, and we're sending our condolences to you and your family.
Family/guardian can receive a maximum of $200.00 for burial assistance. Funds are distributed on a first come first serve basis and paid directly to the Funeral home. Assistance will be available until funds are exhausted. Please see the eligibility and burial assistance policy below before completing your request. 
Note: Assistance is based on available resources, and all forms must be signed, dated, and faxed or emailed to info@thepotterssmile.org.
