Life Insurance Awareness Month

No one likes to think about leaving their children without one or both of their parents.  For me it is a cause of great anxiety.  Unfortunately, as we know Life Happens and sometimes parents die way too soon.  That is why having life insurance is so important.

My husband is an insurance agent, so for us it was a "no brainer" - we each have a policy.  And even though The Life Foundation celebrates Life Insurance Awareness Month in September, that doesn't mean you can't take care of business now!

Life Insurance Awareness Month was created 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. To help bring awareness to this problem, The Life Foundation created the "Insure Your Love Picture Mosaic."

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. 

You can upload your own photos here... LIFE Foundation's Facebook fan page, located at www.facebook.com/lifehappens.org. 

I uploaded this picture to the mosaic.  I would do anything to protect my 2 boys. Life insurance is the least I can do!
