Life Backup Plan secures every aspect of your Life
I’ve long called the app the Ultimate Life Backup System. Why? Because just like a generator to provide backup power in case of an outage, the SecureLife app acts as a backup plan, in case something goes awry.
I was sitting on my sofa recovering from torn rotator cuff surgery, when I realized that, although I had amazing friends who would check on me every day or two, a LOT could happen in between their calls or texts. I couldn’t drive. I lived in a two story. What if I fell down the stairs? How long would I lay there before I was found? What if I hit my head? I could die from that. How long would it be before my cats were taken care of? I didn’t want them to go hungry.
And so began the story of Life Backup Plan. I began mentally walking through every step of what would need to happen to take care of me, my home, my cats, and my belongings, if I did fall, or got a post op infection. How would I get help? How soon? How would they enter my home? Do I have documents governing my care? Who has them? Does that person know where they are.
I do my best thinking behind a steering wheel and, once I got my driving privileges back, other ideas started coming to me. I remembered a family friend who simply didn’t awake one morning, with no warning whatsoever. What if she’d had this app and it was integrated with a FitBit, Smart Watch or a medical device, and could have checked on her while she slept, then woken her sons if she didn’t respond?
What about elderly people, who want life monitoring systems, but find them hard to afford if their only income is Social Security?
What about Women? Many of you have probably heard the trend from this past spring of man versus bear. It was very popular on X (formerly Twitter). Could this be an app that helped them, too?
The rest is history. Not every step of a care journey is incorporated in this initial release, but they are all coming. See the Features page for a full list.
Certifications
Life Backup Plan by Galacxia, Inc is very proudly a Certified Woman Owned Small Business (WOSB) by the Small Business Administration.
Getting this certification is no easy feat. I applied once, waited several months, and got rejected. I applied again, with the guidance of Karla Gonzalez of the OCIE SBDC, without whom this would have never happened.
After several months of waiting for my application to be reviewed, and four rounds of submitting additional documentation, some of it duplicates to what I’d already submitted, I was, miraculously, approved in May, 2024. I couldn’t be prouder and happier. I don’t think rocket science was as arduous as getting this WOSB certification, and I’ve done rocket science.
The WOSB Certification opens doors to contracts being let by the federal government, which is mandated to set aside at least 5% of contracts per year.
Small Business Administration (SBA) Woman Owned Small Business IWOSB) Certification
The Women’s Business Enterprise through the California Public Utilities Commission Supplier Clearinghouse was far easier, and only took a couple weeks. California contracting agencies are mandated to set aside 25% of their contracts for small businesses each year.

How I got from Idea to App
The app idea came to me when I was living in Oceanside, a place well known for Marines, surfing and fish tacos, and not tech. As much as I loved Oceanside, it lacked the resources I needed to get the app developed.
Several months later, I moved back to my beloved South Orange County, California. I was driving to the Irvine Costco, and drove down streets and past buildings in which I’d once worked. It suddenly dawned on me that everything and everyone I needed to get this app developed was right here in my back yard.
I joined some Tech Meetup groups, started attending webinars, did some Google searches, found the Orange County Inland Empire Small Business Development Center, TiE SoCal, Tech Coast Venture Network, and Tech Coast Angels Venture Group, a group with which I’d been involved when I previously lived here before and worked in tech, amongst many others. One thing led to another, I met the people I needed to meet, learned a ton along the way and VOILA!!! An app was born.
