Davis knows this struggle all too well. She started The Silent Victims based on her own experience of having her father incarcerated. During those tough times, she sat in waiting rooms, surrounded by other kids going through similar hardships. Davis felt a deep need to be a beacon of hope for those who might have it even tougher than she and her family—her two younger brothers, her mother, and herself.
