How we made an impact

Families received individualized advocacy, navigation, and support tailored to their needs following homicide.

Financial benefits navigation

Assistance resulted in $50,000 in employer life-insurance benefits and $50,000 in accidental-death benefits for one family.

Victim reparations

Families received help establishing ongoing benefits, including securing $20,000 in documented Crime Victims Reparations back pay for one family.

Funeral and cremation resources

Families received guidance locating funding and resources related to homicide funeral and cremation expenses.

Court advocacy

Families received in-person emotional support, court accompaniment, and criminal-justice navigation during homicide proceedings.

Long-term follow-up

Support continued beyond the immediate crisis and across significant legal, financial, and family milestones.

System navigation

Families received guidance identifying benefits, understanding processes, organizing documentation, and connecting with resources.

Verified financial resources accessed

$120,000+ in verified financial resources successfully accessed through Stand The Gap's advocacy and resource navigation.

This total includes verified employer life insurance benefits, accidental death benefits, and Crime Victims Reparations back pay. Ongoing monthly benefits and assistance with unverified dollar amounts are intentionally excluded.

Barriers we help families navigate

Lack of benefit awareness

Families may not know what reparations, insurance, survivor, or funeral resources exist.

Complex applications

Grief often overlaps with forms, deadlines, eligibility requirements, and repeated follow-up.

Criminal-justice stress

Families may need clear explanations, emotional support, and consistent presence during hearings and trials.

Our commitment

Stand The Gap is committed to providing compassionate, trauma-informed support while measuring outcomes responsibly. As we continue to grow, we will publish updated impact information using verified, de-identified data to protect the privacy of every family we serve.
