59. When TBI care is delayed, with Joan Van De Griek (part 1 of 2 mini-series))

When Joan’s husband, Greg, was injured, she thought they had proper plans in place. Greg, a medically retired police officer, EMT, and firefighter of 26 years was injured on the job. Joan quickly realized within the year after her husband’s injury, that worker’s compensation and the pension plan were NOT enough for her family to be financially secure. After years of paying costly out-of-pocket medical bills totaling more than $55,000 (with maxed out credit card debt alone), the family received no reimbursement. When Greg’s compensation finally kicked in, it was only a fraction of his salary, leaving a huge income gap, and causing massive financial stress on the family. As a CPA, Joan learned how to leverage the tools she uses in her business to survive this challenge. She went from being a stay-at-home mom with a part- time accounting firm, to supporting her family with a full-time business that specializes in financially serving police and first responders who feel uncertain about their future - whether they are healthy or disabled.   Find Joan at www.fetchyourwealth.com Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/FetchYourWealth LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/fetch-your-wealth/about/ Email: [email protected] Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/fetch_your_wealth/   Find more about Brain Wellness at https://brainwellnesssolutions.com/
