Crime survivors know that, from out of the blue, crime can shatter anyone's life.

Shanna Van Dyn Hoven, 18-years-old, was jogging in Kaukauna WI when a monster stabbed her to death. Her father’s life spirit died with her. Stephen Van Dyn Hoven, consumed with grief and rage, thought he wouldn’t survive. But then he refused to let the killer destroy his life as well. In meeting with others who’d lost a loved one to crime and learned how they all help each other, he found a place where he belonged. He’s now dedicated his life to helping other victims. He said there’s a lot more of them out there than you realize.

Lorraine Bond opened her door to find the Sherriff and two deputies on the front porch of her Chattanooga TN home to tell her that her son, Deputy Donald Bond, had been murdered. Her baby boy was now gone and her life was changed forever.
