Mike Hamlar, Hamlar-Curtis Funeral Home - Virginia

We are in the death care business and saw early on that everyone - no matter their age, race or occupation - was at risk of dying from COVID. Being on the frontlines, our staff were exposed, infected and had to quarantine. FFCRA was absolutely critical to helping our business through this crisis. Small businesses and our employees critically need emergency leave extended and a permanent solution so we are better prepared for the next crisis, big or small.
