Real Life Story

“Tom’s motto was: Be prepared. You don’t know what life will hand you.”

Jeanie and Tom had an idyllic life: a strong marriage and two children. But when Tom was tragically killed in a snowmobiling accident at just 45, the world collapsed for Jeanie and the kids. Grief overwhelmed them, but thanks to Tom’s life insurance, financial tragedy did not. It paid for the funeral and the family’s bills and expenses. And it set them up for the future so they could continue living in their home, and plan for college and retirement. Life insurance did everything Tom had planned for it to do.

Our Scholarship

“Life insurance can’t bring a parent back, but it can make the road afterwards easier for those left behind.”

  • Miranda Rivera, whose father died at 44 years old without life insurance

The Life Lessons Scholarship Program grew out of our desire to support students who are struggling financially when there wasn’t a life insurance safety net in place after the death of their parent.

Donate if you’re able: 100% of the proceeds goes directly to the students.
