Recently I spoke at a business meeting about the month of March being about kids. National Children’s Day, Plunket Society Fundraising Week, and Well Child Week all fall in the month of March. These are all charities and events that help families, especially the kids out there who are struggling with illness.
New Zealand children collectively undergo around 100,000 cancer treatments and procedures every year.
Having a child diagnosed with a serious illness like cancer would be heartbreaking. There are many uncertainties that none of us would want to be faced with. And as parents we would want to be able to give them and get for them everything they need to have the best chance of making a good recovery.
Child cover provides a lump sum payment and works just like an adult trauma policy. Families use this cash for the extra costs of time off work or away from business. They pay for travel and accommodation, medication and specialist visits.
And of course health insurance can get them treatment sooner, at the hospital of your choice at a time that suits your family.
