On an ordinary Saturday in Eastpointe, Michigan, the unthinkable happened. Outside a local Foot Locker, four people were shot two fatally. What began as a regular shopping day ended in tragedy, broadcast across Detroit as breaking news.
These events aren’t isolated. They are becoming all too familiar, and yet, most of us still believe we have time. This post isn’t to scare you. It’s to open your heart and your eyes to a deeper question:
If life changed in an instant, would your family be okay?
Whether it's a shooting, a natural disaster, or an unexpected health crisis, we rarely get a heads-up. It just happens. And when it does, it’s too late to start asking questions like:
- Do we have a plan?
- Will my kids be taken care of?
- What happens if I’m not here tomorrow?
Communities like Detroit, Flint, Chicago, Cleveland, and St. Louis face these questions daily. The risk is real. And preparation doesn’t mean expecting the worst it means loving your family enough to protect their peace.

It isn’t about being rich. It isn’t about being perfect. It’s about being intentional.
Protection looks like:
- A simple plan
- A trusted conversation
- A few wise decisions that can change everything for your children, your partner, your parents
You don’t expect gunshots at a Foot Locker. You don’t expect your loved one to never come home.
But that’s the world we’re living in. And while we can’t control the world, we can create peace inside our homes.
You deserve to feel safe. Your kids deserve a future. And you deserve to know you’ve done everything you could to protect it.
"Because tomorrow isn’t promised but peace of mind can be."
