As moms, we try to do everything we can to ensure our children have a good healthy life, filled with happiness and opportunities. Something we don’t tend to stop to think about is “How would my family manage without me or how would we manage without my husband”. It is a scary uncomfortable thought and issue to think about, but important.
My family and I have learned the hard way the past few years losing so many loved ones, how it affects the ones we love when we are not prepared. There are so many financial issues that seem to arise when you really aren’t expecting them and really don’t need them. Maybe that is why we didn’t waste time to set up life insurance for our family. This is something we have established and recommend to others.
September is Life Insurance Awareness Month, making it the perfect time to think about protecting the most important people in our lives.
The nonprofit LIFE Foundation sponsors Life Insurance Awareness Month in response to the growing problem of too many families not having adequate life insurance protection. According to the industry research group LIMRA, 11 million U.S. households with children under age 18 have no coverage. Those families are just one illness or accident away from a financial crisis, and something needs to be done about it. That’s why LIFE has created the “Insure Your Love Picture Mosaic” in support of Life Insurance Awareness Month.
The “Insure Your Love Picture Mosaic” is designed to recognize and celebrate those who have made the responsible decision to protect their loved ones by owning life insurance, while also introducing them to a larger community of others who have made the same choice. People are encouraged to upload up to 20 photos of their loved ones, whose financial future has been safeguarded by their decision to purchase life insurance.
By adding your photos to the mosaic, you will also be helping out a great cause. For each photo uploaded, $1 will be donated to the LIFE Lessons Scholarship Program, which provides tuition assistance to students who have lost a parent and are struggling to achieve their dream of a college education.
*Details on how to upload a photo to the mosaic, which can be done through the LIFE Foundation’s Facebook fan page, located at www.facebook.com/lifehappens.org.
Upload your own photos and be apart of this special project.
