very sorry about this tragic situation Brandon
I used to work with kids who had Cerebral Palsy...Their needs are quite challenging under the best of situations.....regarding fundraising-marketing ideas-I would suggest you contact the local tv/radio stations and the local newspaper.....their reporters are in my experience quite good at publicizing these cases and can advertise bank accounts to have money sent to.......in addition the local station might get this story picked up by the national station-NBC or whoever.....I would also suggest getting in touch with the United Cerebral Palsy Foundation........No offense to you but it might in fact be the best thing for her to go to a residential treatment home or facility...this condition is as you know extremely challenging and can often defeat all the best efforts of non professionals who try to deal with it....expense wise you are talking about hundreds of thousands of dollars in the long run....I think at a minimum she would qualify for home care nursing services right now.....maybe I am wrong about that.....I do agree that she has to get out of that trailer as soon as possible in any case....I spent two years on a volunteer rescue squad and God forbid there would be a fire cause those things collapse inward and even able bodied people are trapped and usually die......hate to discuss that scenario but I have seen it myself.....she would have no chance at all-nor would those trying to help her get out......well anyway I suggest you try the local media outlets.....perhaps she could go to a residential care facility until the house is built....its a matter of doing what has to be done for her health and safety and the best of intentions sometimes have to yield to some harsh realities sometimes.....
Best of luck
Tom
