Our Impact

LAURA’S Victims Support Program

Guidance

We offer guidance in navigating the system to get them the resources that are available.

Emotional Support

We offer a space where victims family member can cry and share without judgment.

Financial Support

We ask for help from the family, community, and our contacts.

Crisis Responders

We are there at the crime scene offering support to family members, assuring they have the most essential needs, a safe space, water, clothing, meds. We also works as a liaison with law enforcement.

Monthly Support Groups

We offer victims family members and loved ones a safe space where they can come and talk, celebrate, morn and deal with grief for their loved one, with other people who are experiencing the pain of having a loved one murdered.

Youth Group

We offer family members the opportunity for their youth to participate in our youth group. Youth learn to deal with their own pain, and we assist them in laying down the burden of a having a loved one murdered or going to prison. Many families in communities with high crime rates have both victims and perpetrators in their families.

The Victims Support Program aims to create strength out of tragedy, and unity out of pain. We act as a bridge between families who had suffered devastating loss and access existing resources. We are unique in that we take a holistic approach to victim support services; we offer support and resources to the family of the victim and the family of the perpetrator. We provide a venue to connect suffering families to concrete resources to create stronger families, and in turn create healthier communities.
