Describe the Organization's Program Activity:
Part 3 - Line 4a
HELPING OTHER FAMILIES DURING THE LOSS OF THEIR CHILD HAS BEEN AND CONTINUES TO BE SAVANNAH SMILES PRIMARY MINISTRY. OUR FAMILY DIDN'T CARRY LIFE INSURANCE ON OUR CHILDREN--MOST FAMILIES DON'T. PARENTS NEVER THINK INSURANCE IS SOMETHING THEY NEED ON THEIR CHILD. IN OUR MIND, WE BELIEVE THAT OUR CHILDREN SHOULD NEVER PRECEDE US IN DEATH. SOMETIMES, THAT ISN'T HOW THINGS HAPPEN. THROUGH THE GENEROUS OUTPOURING OF SUPPORT FROM FAMILY AND FRIENDS, WE DIDN'T EXPERIENCE A FINANCIAL BURDEN IN BURIAL COSTS WHEN SAVANNAH WENT TO HEAVEN.
