WHAT’S YOUR STORY? YOU CAN HELP OTHERS BY SHARING
Here are some questions to get you thinking:
As Brian discussed on the cover, some folks going through the disability claims process find it hard to imagine a brighter future. We want these people to know there is hope, and that men and women just like them faced these challenges and were able not just to persevere, but to thrive. That’s why we are reaching out to you, dear readers, to lend your voices to those in need of a little hope. We’d like to begin featuring a “Your Story” section in this newsletter, featuring stories from people who have found personal or professional success in the aftermath of a disability claim. We are not looking for testimonials on how we helped with your claims process. We want these submissions to focus on you , your journey, and any advice you have for those who find themselves facing similar struggles. If you or a loved one would like to share a success story with us, please call us, or send an email to help@gillettelawgroup.com and we will arrange an interview. If we feature your story in our newsletter, we’ll send you a GIFT as a token of our gratitude!
