Remi was only five years old when doctors discovered the unthinkable-ovarian cancer. It didn’t seem possible. She was just a child, full of energy, laughter, and dreams of becoming a marine biologist. But cancer didn’t care. It came without warning, turning her family’s world upside down.
Her parents, Samantha and Les, were terrified. The day of the diagnosis was a whirlwind-sudden stomach pains and vomiting, a trip to urgent care, then the ER, and then rushed to the children’s hospital in Savannah. Remi had one ovary and the appendix removed and countless poking and prodding. But Remi was strong. She fought with a courage far beyond her years, smiling through the pain, giggling even on the hardest days.
After months of grueling follow ups and tests, the doctors delivered the miracle Samantha and Les had prayed for-Remi was in remission. Their little girl had beaten a very rare form of cancer.
But while Remi had won her battle, her parents faced a new challenge. The financial burden of medical bills and time off work had left them struggling. And as they looked toward the future, they realized something else: Remi would now have a pre-existing condition. Getting life insurance for her in the future could be difficult, if not impossible.
That’s when Samantha remembered a decision they had made when Remi was a newborn. At the time, Remi’s Uncle Blake had suggested buying a life insurance policy through Auto-Owners Insurance Company for their baby. It wasn’t something they had thought about before, but they figured it was an affordable way to plan for the unexpected. They never imagined how important that decision would become.
Because they had secured a policy before Remi’s diagnosis, her coverage remained intact. The insurer could not revoke the policy or deny a claim based on her new medical history. It was a blessing they hadn’t foreseen-one that gave them peace of mind in a world where nothing had felt certain.
Remi’s Uncle Blake is passionate about sharing her story and helping parents understand that life insurance isn’t just for adults. It is a safeguard, a way to protect a child’s future before the unexpected can change everything.
Remi’s battle with cancer had been tough, but she had a future ahead of her-a future her parents and uncle had unknowingly helped secure when she was just a baby.
