Help LaToaya and Ebony recover from a most gruesome tragedy

Donation protected
I am LaToaya Young. Monday night, March 3rd, my daughter and I slept at my aunt's house with her. Around 12 a.m. Tuesday morning, we were awakened by loud screams from my aunt. We ran out of the room. My uncle had set himself, my auntie, and the house on fire. They were engulfed in flames. He was talking shit to my aunt while burning saying that this is what she wanted, this is what she asked for. She was reaching out to us for help and trying to crawl away from her bedroom, at the same time. My daughter and I were trying everything to get the fire out on my aunt and did. We ran to our room to get our phones to call 911. It got extra smoky in there. We had to run out of the house to catch our breaths. My daughter then crawled back in to find my aunt and started pulling her toward the door, screaming to me for help. I went inside and helped her pull my aunt outside. My uncle was sitting in a chair outside, still talking shit and chuckling, saying, "This is what you wanted. You got what you wanted. You asked for this," the same thing he was saying while he was on fire, crawling out of the house. When the police arrived, my uncle stopped talking shit. Both my aunt and her murderer were taken to a helicopter and airlifted to Orlando hospital. My aunt passed away. She was the next closest thing to my mother, who is also deceased.My daughter and I are fucked up, mentally, right now. This man killed our TT and tried to kill us too. This is still so unreal. We are both gonna have to go through intensive therapy after all of this.

While we thank everyone for helping with laying our aunt to rest, we are still in need of intensive therapy sessions. Hypnotherapy would be the best course of action for us because talking about it to therapists has been very triggering and causes relapse in our already very minor progression. My insurance at my job doesn't cover hypnotherapy so we would have to pay out of pocket. We are asking for your help with those expenses.
