Michigan, US, 14th June 2024, ZEX PR WIRE, In an inspiring act of kindness and community spirit, Arias Agencies, an independent agency for American Income Life Insurance Company headquartered in Wexford, has made headlines for their incredible gesture of giving away a completely paid-off house to a local family. This remarkable event not only showcases the generosity of Arias Agencies but also highlights their commitment to making a positive impact in the communities they serve.

The initiative, spearheaded by Simon Arias, owner of Arias Agencies, was birthed from a vision to bless a deserving family with their very own home. “We had a vision at the beginning of [2021] that we wanted to bless a family with their very own house. Somebody that was working and progressing but struggling a little bit and didn’t own their own home,” Arias shared. This vision came to life when the Verona home was donated to Victory Family Church in Cranberry. The church, in turn, selected Lamara, a single mother, along with her two children, 10-year-old Aniyah and 1-year-old Josiah, as the recipients.

For Lamara, the news came as a Christmas miracle. Arias conveyed the life-changing announcement to her during the week of Christmas, a time often synonymous with hope and new beginnings. “I WOKE UP ON SECTION 8, BUT I’M GOING TO BED A WHOLE HOMEOWNER!” Lamara wrote on her Facebook page in December, expressing her overwhelming joy and gratitude. She continued, “With only 9 days left in what was probably one of the most challenging years of my life, 9 days left in the ‘fourth quarter,’ God has completely blown my mind! By His grace, my family and I were selected by Simon Anthony Arias III on behalf of Arias Agencies – American Income Life to receive a new home, COMPLETELY PAID OFF for Christmas!! Only GOD could ever do such a thing! LET THIS BE AN ENCOURAGEMENT TO YOU – don’t give up!”

To ensure the home was not just a house but a true haven for Lamara and her children, extensive renovations were undertaken. The property received a new roof, foundation repairs, all-new floors, a new kitchen, and a complete repainting, transforming it into a beautiful and welcoming sanctuary.

Community Collaboration

Such a significant project required the collaboration of various local businesses and organizations. Arias Agencies received invaluable support from companies like Arima Stone, RJ Steele Construction, AVID Management Group, LP, and A Better Choice Inc. Additionally, Pastor John Nuzzo of Victory Family Church played a crucial role in the project, acting as the liaison between the church and Arias Agencies. This collective effort underscores the power of community and the impact that can be achieved when people come together for a common cause.

Simon Arias’ journey and the ethos of Arias Agencies are deeply rooted in giving back to the community. Reflecting on the monumental giveaway, Arias said, “I never thought I’d be in this position to be honest with you. Being raised by a single mom in Youngstown Ohio, starting out in this company (American Income Life) I couldn’t even think that big to think that one day we’d be giving away a home.”

Under his leadership, Arias Agencies has consistently demonstrated a commitment to improving communities through various initiatives and partnerships. From offering competitive insurance products that protect local families to providing meaningful career opportunities, the organization is dedicated to making a positive impact on the lives it touches. Arias further emphasized, “The bigger that our organization gets, the bigger the opportunity we have to give.”

Arias Agencies operates within the Globe Life – American Income Division, where it has grown to become one of the largest distribution centers in the United States. This growth has been driven by a mission to improve communities and offer comprehensive insurance solutions that address the multifaceted needs of working families. From life insurance to critical illness and accident insurance, the organization provides tailored solutions that help secure the health and financial future of its clients.

However, the impact of Arias Agencies extends beyond business. Simon Arias has been a driving force in philanthropic efforts, both in his hometown of Youngstown, Ohio, and in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. He played a critical role in establishing Inspiring Minds, a youth program aimed at empowering local youth, and launched the Steel City Impact program, which supports at-risk youth and their families.

The story of Arias Agencies giving away a home to Lamara and her children is a testament to the profound difference that acts of kindness and generosity can make. It serves as an inspiration to others, encouraging them to give back to their communities and support those in need.

As Simon Arias and Arias Agencies continue to grow, their commitment to giving back remains steadfast. The organization’s actions demonstrate that success is not just measured by financial achievements but by the positive impact one can make in the lives of others.
