Having a financial strategy in place can help us remain in our own homes while aging or recovering from accidents or illness. If you have assets and family you wish to protect, let’s get together to create a plan that is affordable and is right for you and those you love!
Why Disability Insurance Is Critical By Jason Alderman

“Disability Insurance” page 25
Donna Pierini has been in her location for 26 years. Her desire is to make women feel beautiful on the inside and out and she lives her dream. She’s on her way to Mexico to do the hair of all the women in a remote village. Her son says “My mom conducts business in a poetic manner. It’s like she’s getting paid to fulfill her purpose.” www.belladonnahairdesgin.com
Claudia DeMaranville is celebrating 15 years in business serving over 2500 households in the local Santa Cruz area. Her agency specializes in educating its customers and offering unique insurance solutions. She takes pride in being a business partner and a true insurance advocate for her clients as well as being involved in the community. Being in good hands is the only place to be. Claudia@Allstate.com
