Nonprofit creates new resource for crime victims

Break the Silence, Taylor Police Department create new fund

Crime victims and abuse survivors have a new resource on their healing journey On June 9, Break the Silence, a nonprofit dedicated to fighting childhood sexual abuse, along with the Taylor Police Department and the city, created a new account that will provide victims with funding for a number of emergency expenses, including gas money, food, shelter and more.

“Break the Silence accomplished a core mission goal this morning,” said Marcus Reese, a board member of the 2-year-old organization, as well as a co-founder. “We have successfully created a victim services fund that will help provide victims with resources with valuable care in the moments after a crime has happened.”
