My husband and I opened a multi-species rescue and sanctuary in SW McClain County, Oklahoma, where we not only assist the animals but also help the people of our community with their animals.On June 1, 2022 as we were having our morning coffee and discussing our schedules for the day, my husband suffered a fatal heart attack. To say I was devastated would be an understatement! He had no history of heart issues and was, for all appearances, a very healthy, young 53 year old man. Add to that, we had NO life insurance! Two months prior to his passing, we shopped for new insurance after I had resigned my position in the corporate world. He felt we should go with health and dental/vision/hearing and "wait to see what we could afford for life insurance." Unfortunately that day never came.In the blink of an eye, I was left alone, without his sole income, trying to provide not only for myself but also the multitude of animals in our care!It was then, in that moment, that I decided I never wanted anyone to go through what I went through; trying to figure out how to keep our house, while painfully grieving the loss of my husband, my partner, my best friend.Joining the HealthMarkets team was absolutely the best decision I ever made; to make this passion a career!
