Who Depends On You? By: Christina Wagner Business Ambassador for Rene Apack, Your Disability Insurance Advisor
I will never forget the day I got a call from a friend asking me if I knew anyone that was hiring. It wasn’t for my friend, it was for an acquaintance. When I inquired, I learned that a 30 year old man, in good health, went to sleep and simply didn’t wake up. He left behind a wife who was looking for work and two children.
Can you imagine? THIRTY years old.
My heart sank for this family that I didn’t even know. My next question, “Please tell me he had life insurance?” Sadly the answer was no and there was a long pause. I’m not sure what was going through my friends mind during that time, but I can tell you what I was thinking. ..this person was so young...what will his family do..why didn't he just have life insurance?
It was at this time I decided to make it my personal mission to do all that I could to make sure others don't suffer the same situation. And I knew just the person that I could stand behind!
