September is America’s Life Insurance Awareness month – the annual campaign is to encourage the more than 100 million Americans who do not have adequate life insurance to get the coverage they need.
TV actor Anthony Anderson is the national spokesperson for the 2015 campaign, he shares his personal story in this video about how life insurance impacted his life.
“Even on their limited income, my mom and dad instilled upon all of us the importance of planning for the future and the fact that tomorrow isn’t promised to anyone,” Anderson says. “I know how hard it is to lose someone you love. An accident took my brother when he was 26 and shortly after, I lost my father to diabetes, a disease I, myself, live with today. It was rough getting through those deaths, but the fact that they both had life insurance made it so much easier.” says Anderson.
