States DO give money to people if they need it because of a crime. Just search the web, e.g here is Texas:  
(just a small sample)  
Article 1 - BILL OF RIGHTS  
Section 31 - COMPENSATION TO VICTIMS OF CRIME FUND;  
COMPENSATION TO VICTIMS OF CRIME AUXILIARY FUND; USE OF FUND MONEY

Maybe you can collect from your state?
