Stories
Natural Disaster
Abigail S.
After the snow storm hit us in Texas, we were without electrcity for ten straight days. We had no fresh water, lights, and we couldn't use our electric stove top to cook. Had we invested in some simple disaster solutions like a generator, water storage, and meal kits, we could have continued living a very normal life for those ten horrible days.

A cybercriminal hacked into my email and opened up three credit cards in my name and proceeded to spend thousands of dollars. By the time I was notified and able to close the cards, my credit score had been destroyed.
