Massey family Murder recovery

Donation protected
I want to start by saying that I do not normally do things like this, I am not the best at asking for help especially in situations such as this. My father Robert A. Massey and my cousin Amy L. Hatfield where murdered July 7th 2016 in Portside. The man who did it has been caught and has confessed to the murders. It is my understanding, and all of this is already on the news, That Thomas Brown Amy's boyfriend at the time got into a fight with Amy over money. He choked her to death with some form of rope or cord. He then went and told my father what he had done. This lead to Dad fighting with him and getting stabbed to death with a knife. T.J. Brown then stole my Dad's T.v. and jewlery and pawned them. This is all the detail being released and I was told not to release more until the trial is complete.  There is a small comfort knowing that this man, whom I once shook hands with, is off the street and will, hopefully, get what is coming to him. My Dad had his funeral arrangments covered and was under the impression that he had a big life issurance policy in place to split amongst the 4 of us and pay his final expensises through the city of Jacksonville Beach FL. that he worked at for 17 years. However, when he was terminated for having a seizier he was required to keep paying the premium and it lapsed. I am sure he did not know this as he said mutliple times that after 10 years of working there it was given to him and he made it to 17. Social security will not help due to none of us being minors, he collected his Retirement, payed the early fees and payed off the trailer, the only thing now left to us. My little brother Michael wants to move down here to be with family and stay in the trailer. A safe haven for us if we ever need it available to all of my siblings. We are now presented with the awesome burden of cleaning up the scene of my families murder. As you can imagine there is a great deal of blood on the floors and walls of 2 seperate rooms. the carpet and limolium flooring was cut up for forensics and I thought there was going to be life issurance to help get it cleaned. I have just started this task of cleaning blood and Luminal (blue spray paint used to find blood) I do not know how far the damage ranges. The blood has to be sanitized and the carpets have to be completly removed. I may have to replace sections of the floor as particle board does not take to mosture or blood... There is also the 1500$ expense of a probate attorney. Anything that you can do would help. A few of my Family Members Grandma Lynch and my Aunt Darlene cork have raised a portion to help out.  Again I hate to ask for help and I am willing to do the work myself if needed, I just have to come up with supplies. If I some how manage to come up with enough to have it done by some one else, so much the better, Thank you all for taking the time to read this, thank you for every bit donated. Every penny will go to makeing this home, the only thing left, a sanctuary instead of the horror that it currently is.
