Vision Board ​
​
​Our Vision board event goal was to help participants visualize the goals they want to achieve this upcoming year. They were able to flip through magazines and find images and quotes that embodied the future that they desire for themselves.
Life Insurance
​​​
We never know when our life or the lives or our loved one will be cut short. The best way to lighten the load during unfortunate events is to prepare for them, and the best way to do so is to make sure we are covered and have LIFE INSURANCE.
​
The goal is provide individuals and families with a vendor/s to assist them during tragic events. We want families to say NO MORE to GoFundMe, car
washes, and selling food to rise money for a proper homegoing for their loved ones.
