The United Cerebral Palsy Foundation may offer you some assistance but, Id suggest trying JESUS, he still can heal if given the opportunity.

The UCP is a great place to start. If she is receiving SS already then services she needs should also be paid for through your state health services. It just depends on which state you live in. Try talking with a caseworker through Medicaid and see if she can get an assessment from a home health agency. That would help get on paper specific needs she has and what services she may qualify for. Also try the MDA. Although their title indicates it’s specifically for muscular dystrophy, I think they may help with CP as well.
