Application for Assistance
The disbursement of funds from The Kaitlin Marie Bell Foundation, Inc. to recipients up to the age of 21 will consist of the entire board reviewing the information provided on the application and the board members voting to award or deny the request. The vote must be a majority vote. Upon receipt of an application, information provided will be reviewed, and if necessary, verified, including: income documents, letters of denial for insurance coverage, any other sources of assistance attempted, letters from physicians, teachers, therapists, or any other outside professionals involved with the child's care, to assess the child's needs for assistance. However, the majority vote of the board will not depend solely on the preceding information as other circumstances may apply. Companies and organizations that provide equipment or services needed by the applicant will be contacted for information on price and availability. Attempts will also be made to locate discounts or donations of equipment or services so that we can better meet the needs of more children and their families. Upon receipt of equipment or service availability, the applicant shall be awarded such equipment or services.
With applications that are denied, a letter will be sent to the applicant regarding the board's decision. Applicants who wish to re-apply must provide additional documentation that the child or family's circumstances have changed or that all other possible alternatives have failed.
In a seperate postal mail, please provide all information you have pertaining to this request, including:
A recent letter from the child's physician explaining medical necessity, and/or a letter from a health care professional explaining how the applicant would benefit from the equipment and/or service you have requested,
