The holidays signal a time of relaxation and fun with friends and family. It is also a time when our thoughts turn to those less fortunate than us or are suffering through the difficulties.
Experiencing the loss of a parent has repercussions in the life of a child that most of us can not begin to understand. Often these effects are exacerbated by the financial struggles if the parent does not have adequate life insurance.
I encourage you to read or listen to the stories of young students facing these struggles only, students like Esther Kim, Karim Abouelnaga and Mashell Ewing.
This year, the LIFE Foundation, through its scholarship program life lessons, awarded $ 105,000 in scholarships to 59 students who, like these three outstanding young adults (who all won scholarships) have difficulty paying for college because of the death of a parent. But this is only the beginning. There are many more deserving students who need our help. As you make your last-minute charitable donations, consider giving a tax-deductible donation to this worthy cause.
