Victim Compensation is one of the few programs designed to provide direct reimbursement for victims of crime and violence, and yet too many victims do not receive support from Victim Compensation and are left to struggle alone after a tragedy.
Today’s guest, India Brown, is here to speak about her own difficulties getting the support she needed after experiencing the loss of a loved one to violence, and how she turned that struggle into a mission to help other survivors recover and heal from violence.
India recently led efforts to help pass a historic bill in Ohio that made significant changes to the state’s victim compensation program to better support crime survivors. Tune in to listen to her powerful story.
