I am involved with Donate Life because, after my wife Sandra and I were married, at age 35, she suffered acute kidney failure. After a long period on dialysis, we were fortunate that I was able to donate my own kidney to her. This restored her life and our family.
During Sandra’s time on dialysis, the costs for treatments, laboratory work and doctors visits became enormous. I vowed to help my clients be prepared financially for catastrophic illnesses like the one that befell us. I spoke to industry experts and learned all I could about Medicare (kidney failure is one of the exceptions for receiving Medicare benefits before age 65) and coping with catastrophic illnesses. I developed an understanding and compassion for people suffering from serious health conditions and the financial challenges that accompany them.
As a result of my family’s experience, I remain an independent financial advisor. My clients and I are able to choose from a full spectrum strategies and programs, without pressure or conflicts of interest.
