Reach out to us, and let’s start protecting your tomorrows, today!
The rock.
We are dedicated, dependable and enduring.
Prepare. Protect. Provide.
The families who count on us expect nothing less.
Help those with special needs attain greater independence and security. If only the strong were to survive, wouldn’t all our lives be greatly diminished?
Live and help live.
Provide a person with the means to live a fuller life, and you give more meaning to yours.
Make it possible for people (both the less and more fortunate) to achieve peace of mind. To love one another means you can’t feel things are OK until you know they feel that way. Your peace of mind depends on knowing you’ve helped bring peace of mind to the other.
Self-sufficiency is less satisfying to the soul than caring for one another. As Mankind truly is one family, what benefits any one of us enhances the lives of us all. Those of us with greater needs enable their loved ones by enabling them to feel needed.

Founder and Partner
Mary Anne Ehlert is a nationally recognized expert in special needs planning. As a Partner of Simplicity Group and Founder of Protected Tomorrows, a Simplicity Group commitment, she leads the organization in providing advocacy, education, and planning support to families with loved ones who have disabilities.
Mary Anne founded Protected Tomorrows more than 35 years ago after her family’s personal journey with special needs planning for her sister Marcia’s future revealed a lack of available resources. She has since dedicated her life to building those resources for others.
Prior to founding the company, Mary Anne spent over two decades in corporate financial services. Today, she speaks at national conferences, hosts educational webinars, and leads virtual training programs for families and caregivers of people with special needs and disabilities.
Mary Anne has served on the boards of several disability-focused organizations, including the National Disability Institute, Special Olympics Illinois, a SEDOL Foundation and Gateway to Learning. She currently serves on the boards of the Special Olympics Illinois Foundation, Cornelia de Lange Syndrome Foundation, Integrative Touch, and the Tails for Life Advisory Board.
Mary Anne resides in Barrington, Illinois with her life partner and her three pups. She is a proud mother of three stepsons, one who lives independently and shares his life experiences with his peers with disabilities.
Every human being has a right to live life to his or her fullest potential. Desperation and fear are Mankind’s oldest enemies. A society may fairly be judged by the extent to which it spares its most vulnerable citizens from having to endure them.
