Corey's Network: A Lifeline for Families Affected by Unsolved Homicides

Twelve years ago, Corey Laykovich's life was brutally cut short. Yet, his legacy lives on through Corey's Network, a non-profit organization dedicated to supporting families affected by unsolved homicides in the Kansas City metro area. Founded by Michelle Norris, Corey's mother, the network has been working tirelessly to provide counseling, advocacy, and financial assistance to those struggling to come to terms with the loss of a loved one.

Since its inception, Corey's Network has helped over 425 families pay for funeral expenses, totaling over $100,000 in assistance. The organization's wave of support extends beyond financial aid, offering a safe space for families to process their grief, navigate the investigation and court process, and manage the media's often-overwhelming attention. Norris herself has found solace in connecting with others who have endured similar tragedies.

The importance of organizations like Corey's Network cannot be overstated. They serve as a vital lifeline for families who are often left feeling isolated and unsupported in their time of need. By providing a range of services and support, Corey's Network helps families to heal and find some sense of closure, even in the face of tragedy. As we move forward, it is crucial that we continue to recognize the impact of unsolved homicides and provide resources to those affected.
