Testimony from Tammy Leal, a mother and grandmother…
"Just 13 days"
Bailey was 34 years old and I was 55 when she was tragically killed in a car wreck. She was a mama who loved her 3 kids and wanted to make sure they were taken care of. She made the decision to get life insurance through her job. She passed on July 18, 2024 and her life insurance policy did not become active until Aug 1, 2024. Those 13 days represent more than a number, it is the difference between having to stay in a 1 bedroom apartment vs a 3 bedroom home. Having plenty of groceries for the growing children vs having to buy groceries in fear of not getting enough.
My grandkids, Isaac, Karter and Harmony survived the crash, thank goodness! But honestly, I was not prepared for the emotional grief and financial struggle that was ahead. I am so thankful that community members donated and we were finally able to move into a bigger home. So proud, Bailey, you were trying to do what a mom does best, think ahead, take care of her family.
