Life Insurance Awareness Month
Special Member Tribute

“I decided to get life insurance because it is an excellent investment for peace of mind for each family member. I follow the saying ‘It is better to have it and not use it, than to need it and not have it.’ You feel secure and you sleep better every night knowing that your family doesn’t need to worry about you.”
   – Monica Estrella, member since 1999

“I think life insurance is very important. It is the final act that you are able to perform for your family. This act will delete many of the issues that may arise. This act shows the love you have for your family as insurance may replace income that is no longer available.”
   – Maxine Ollie Irene Franklin, NEA member for 43 years

Your story could help other members!

In an effort to spread awareness of this very important topic, we’re asking members to tell other members how life insurance coverage has made a difference. On the other hand, if you or someone you know has suffered hardship through not being adequately insured, we want to hear about that too.

Sample stories could include how life insurance benefits allowed you, or someone you know to:

• Keep paying the mortgage and stay in their home
• Manage without getting a second job—and be there for their children
• Continue to pay for a child’s music lessons, enabling them to their dream
